"It is the minority that has stood in the vain of every moral conflict, and achieved all that is noble in the history of the world."

Since poetry is infinitely valuable, I do not understand why it should be more valuable than this or that which is also infinitelyvaluable. There are artists who perhaps do not think art to be too great, for this is impossible, and yet they are not free enough to be able to rise above their own best accomplishments.

— Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
