Edgar Allan Poe
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul'. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist'.

The soul that is within me no man can degrade...Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value...Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible...We experience happiness as a series of pleasing...I have a family, loving aunts, and a good home...An oppressive government is more to be feared...
