“The Sabine Woman” | Anthony Satori

“Whether artists and authors ever live to see the dawn of their fame depends upon the chance of circumstance; and the higher and more important their works are, the less likelihood there is of their doing so. As a general rule, the longer a person’s fame is likely to last, the later it will be in coming. The general history of art and literature shows that the highest achievements of the human mind are, as a rule, not favorably received at first; but remain in obscurity until they win notice from intelligence of a high order.”

– Arthur Schopenhauer
