No matter how substandard you feel your skill or talent may be, If you never produce your art, the world will always remain deprived of it.

Whether or not anyone could have done it is not what's important. What is important is whether or not anyone would have done it.

I would warn against too much of a radical devotion to rationality. Rationality is an illusion, an invented concept, a construct from the mind of man. It is not a property of the universe. Rationality may be a useful tool when it suits our purposes, however, it is merely a measuring stick, calibrated against what we know of the nature of the universe - all of which may or may not be completely inaccurate.

An unbending and absolute acceptance of any idea is a sure sign of a small mind, no matter the greatness of intellect possesed by the one accepting that idea.

Those who are offended by something are most often those who deserve to be offended by it.
