Daily quote |
Emile Zola (Emile François Zola)The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected with the fate of men. The first court martial was perhaps unintelligent; the second one is inescapably criminal. The thought is a deed. Of all deeds she fertilizes the world most. The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it. There are two men inside the artist, the poet and the craftsman. One is born a poet. One becomes a craftsman. |
