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'.

Trees are Earth's endless effort to speak...I arise in the morning...The awful importance of this life...Being the Queen is not all about singing...I want to make things of quality. I'm a big believer...Those who fight corruption should be clean themselves...
