Genius Worship Is The Inevitable

Do Not Mistake A Crowd Of Big Wage Earners For The Leisure Class.

Only Reason Can Convince Us Of Those Three Fundamental Truths Without A Recognition Of Which There Can Be No Effective Liberty: That What We Believe Is Not Necessarily True; That What We Like Is Not Necessarily Good; And That All Questions Are Open.

We Have No Other Means Of Recognising A Work Of Art Than Our Feeling For It.

Let The Artist Have Just Enough To Eat, And The Tools Of This Trade: Ask Nothing Of Him. Materially Make The Life Of The Artist Sufficiently Miserable To Be Unattractive, And No-one Will Take To Art Save Those In Whom The Divine Daemon Is Absolute.

Genius Worship Is The Inevitable Sign Of An Uncreative Age.
