"You are doom eager for destiny no matter what it costs you. The ordeal of isolation, the ordeal of loneliness, the ordeal of doubt, the ordeal of vulnerability which it takes to compose in any medium, is hard to face." "When you are sick with an idea, with something that will not come out." "DOOM EAGER to be an ARTIST." "And the artist is doom eager, but never chooses his fate. He is chosen, and anointed, and caught."-Robert Edmond Jones
