A great artist is always before his time or behind it.

A true artist is always out of his time.

No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time; it is just that others are behind the times.

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

Time, still as he flies, adds increase to her truth, and gives to her mind what he steals from her youth.

I think when you're blessed with great influences, you need to spread it.
