“What an artist dies in me!”
Qualis artifex pereo.
Variant translations:
What an artisan I am in dying!
So great an artist, I die!
Like an artist, I die.
Truly... an artist is about to perish.
Quoted in ""Nero"" - Page 51 by Edward Champlin - History - 2003
“Whoever controls the media, the
images, controls the culture.”
“I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do.”
“Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work…”
“Do not wait; the time will never be "just right."”
Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
