  • A successful artist is inspired by his muse, and his muse is inspired by the payment of a commission.

  • What an artist does, is fail. Any reading of the literature, (I mean the literature of artistic creation), however summary, will persuade you instantly that the paradigmatic artistic experience is that of failure. The actualization fails to meet, equal, the intuition. There is something "out there" which cannot be brought "here". This is standard. I don't mean bad artists, I mean good artists. There is no such thing as a "successful artist" (except, of course, in worldly terms).

    Erica Jong (2013). “Fear of Flying: 40th Anniversary Edition”, p.210, Open Road Media
