“The first step to following in the footsteps of someone who appears brilliant is to realise that they are not a demi-god sent down to Earth to shame us all, but they are only human – and like all humans they are prone to errors with their own range of flaws and weaknesses.”

“The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad
artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently
are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really
great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets
are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more
picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of
second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry
that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not
realize.”—Oscar Wilde/ The Picture of Dorian Gray
