“ I would rather be an artist than a careerist. I would rather impress my image (even though an image the size of a nickel) upon a soul of a people than be known, except in so far I have my natural obligation to my family—to provide for them. I would as soon as be as anonymous as Rimbaud, if I could feel that I had accomplished that purpose—and that is no sentimental yapping about being disinterested. It is simply that having once found the intensity of art, nothing else that can happen in life can ever again seem as important as the creative process.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
