Cicero

Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
