"The desire to amaze is not a good trait. The artist writes what he thinks necessary and is not interested in the effect. It's a temptation. The thought that you can act like this on people must be kept as far away as possible.

The desire to amaze is not a good trait. The artist writes what he thinks necessary and is not interested in the effect. It's a temptation. The thought that you can act like this on people must be kept as far away as possible.
"Romanian
"Dorința de a uimi nu-i o trăsătură bună. Artistul scrie ce crede el necesar și nu-l interesează efectul. E o ispită. Gândul că poți acționa astfel asupra oamenilor trebuie ținut pe cât se poate la distanță."
