"No man divulges his revenue, or at least which way it comes in: but every one publishes his acquisitions."

Previous Quote

The artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom; to that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition-and therefore, more permanently enduring. He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty and pain.

— Joseph Conrad
