Quoting HONORE DE BALZAC ... The Mission Of Art

    Are you sure you are not just copying quotes from famous authors?

      NO
      Sometimes I wish my life were that easy.

      My reading list is approximately one dozen books
      but I found this brand new skinny Balzac book
      sitting on the mantel and could not
      remember when I purchased it...

      The next thing I know...
      I am reading The Unknown Masterpiece.

      It is MUST READING for any Art student.

      I finished the title story yesterday and am now
      reading the companion story, Gambara
