If it is the mark of the artist to love art before everything, to renounce everything for its sake, to think all the sweet human things of life well lost if only he may attain something, do some good, great work - then I was never an artist.

  • -- Ellen Terry 爱伦·泰瑞

如果这是艺术家的标志,爱艺术先于一切,放弃一切,为艺术而放弃一切,认为只要他能得到一些东西,做一些好事,伟大的工作,生活中所有美好的东西就会失去,那么我从来就不是一个艺术家。
