For the serious artist does not satisfy needs

For the serious artist does not satisfy needs

Summary

This quote suggests that a serious artist is not driven by the desire to fulfill personal wants or needs. Instead, their motivation comes from a deeper place within themselves, where they are driven by a genuine passion and commitment to their craft. The serious artist seeks fulfillment through expressing their creativity and pushing the boundaries of their abilities, rather than seeking external validation or material gains. Their purpose lies in creating art that holds meaning and significance, prioritizing the authenticity and impact of their work over personal satisfaction or gratification.

There are obstinate and unknown braves who defend themselves

There are obstinate and unknown braves who defend themselves inch by inch in the shadows against the fatal invasion of want and turpitude. There are noble and mysterious triumphs which no eye sees. No renown rewards, and no flourish of trumpets salutes. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment, and poverty and battlefields which have their heroes.
