“every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“A poet should be so crafty with words that he is envied even for his pains.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“If it's bad, I'll hate it because I hate bad writing. If it's good, I'll be envious and hate it all the more.”
― Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris: The Shooting Script
