“If the artist does not fling himself, without reflecting, into his work, as Curtis flung himself into the yawning gulf, as the soldier flings himself into the enemy’s trenches, and if, once in this crater, he does not work like a miner on whom the walls of his gallery have fallen in; if he contemplates difficulties instead of overcoming them one by one … he is simply looking on at the suicide of his own talent.”
— Honore De Balzac
Love your words
Thank you so much! ❤️
Insightful words! We need to look ahead and see where we want our talents to journey. Thanks Cherie. Blessings to your writing in the coming year.
Thank you so much Buckeye! And you’re right! It’s just too bad I BSed my way through school and didn’t realize this until I was older.
🙏
Aum Shanti
Thank you so much, Shanti! 💖
