"He that is conscious of a stink in his breeches is [suspicious] of every wrinkle in another's nose."

Previous Quote

Any work of art represents a series of conscious choices on the part of the artist - what color to paint, what note to play, what word to use - in that artist's attempt to share what is in his or her soul. The audience is free to accept or reject those choices; it is emphatically not free to substitute its own.
