Artistic talent is far more common than the talent to nurture artistic talent.
No writer, painter, or actor - no artist - is ever handed a sharp knife (although a few people are handed almighty big ones; the name we give to the artist with the big knife is 'genius'), and we hone with varying degrees of zeal and aptitude.

After the 9/11 apocalypse happened in New York City, people, particularly New Yorkers, who breathed in the ash, or saw the results of that, have a tendency to keep seeing echoes and having flashbacks to it.
Some people say that I must be a horrible person, but that's not true. I have the heart of a young boy -- in a jar on my desk.
You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end.
