About This Quote
True art comes from flying with the madness so close you burn your eyelashes. This quote was written by a French poet, Paul Valery, in a poem called "The Man Who Loved Only Once." In it he wrote that while most people are content to live their lives feeling safe and secure, a true artist lives on the edge of complete insanity. Living on the edge of complete insanity is an interesting description of life as an artist. It's certainly not for everyone, but it's the life I've chosen.
