About This Quote
This quote conveys the belief that a piece of art only succeeds when its creator possesses the belief that brings it into being. In this quote, the author is speaking about the artist's belief in his or her own ability to create a masterpiece. Although most people don't think all art requires a great deal of talent, they do believe that some requires more talent than others. Perhaps this is because our culture tends to emphasize certain traits in artists and other creative people, such as intelligence and a knack for getting things done.
