An artist is a creature driven by demons. He don't know why they choose him and he is to busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that; he will rob, borrow, beg or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done. (...) If a writer has to rob his mother he will not hesitate, the 'ode on an Grecian urn' is worth any number of old ladies.    Jean Stein with William Faulkner, NYC 1956. Children have little faculty in distinguishing between disaster and the ordinary course of their live.    Richard Hughes, A high wind in Jamaica. Beauty is a moral test.    Thoreau. Filling a space in an beautiful way- that is what art means to me.    Georgia O'Keeffe. Living well is the best revenge.
