Refine your senses through the great masters of music, painting, and poetry.

Every work of art has its necessity; find out your very own. Ask yourself if you would do it if nobody would ever see it, if you would never be compensated for it, if nobody ever wanted it. If you come to a clear ‘yes’ in spite of it, then go ahead and don’t doubt it anymore.

Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
