Quote: Artistic Genius Is Humble

"The second-rate artist, of course, cannot afford to surrender himself to any common action; for his chief task is the assertion of all the trifling differences which are his distinction: only the man who has so much to give that he can forget himself in his work can afford to collaborate, to exchange, to contribute."
-T.S. Elliot, The Function of Criticism.
