I Have Disassociated Myself From That Book.

The Knowledge That Every Day There Is Something More To Learn, Something Higher To Reach For, Something New To Make For Others, Makes Each Day Infinitely Precious

To Rebel Or Revolt Against The Status Quo Is In The Very Nature Of An Artist.

Talent Is An Amalgam Of High Sensitivity; Easy Vulnerability; High Sensory Equipment (seeing, Hearing, Touching, Smelling, Tasting Intensely); A Vivid Imagination As Well As A Grip On Reality; The Desire To Communicate One's Own Experience And Sensations, To Make One's Self Heard And Seen.

It Must Be Noted That It Is Often The Colleague Or Direct Disciple Of A New Thinker Who Gets Stuck In Literal Interpretations Of The Work, Tending To Freeze The New Ideas And Language Into An Inflexible, Static Condition.

Since The Time Of The Ancient Greeks A Democracy Has Depended On Its Philosophers And Creative Artists. It Can Only Flourish By Continuous Probing, Prodding, And Questioning Of The Social Conditions Under Which Man Exists And Tries To Better Himself. One Of The First Moves Of A Dictatorship Is To Stifle The Artists And Thinkers Who Have The Ability To Stir Up Dissent From Any Prescribed Dogma Which Might Enslave Them. Because The Artist Can Arouse The Curiosity And Conscience Of His Community, He Becomes A Threat To Those Who Have Taken Power.
