I can speak only for myself, but there is this weird humility that falls upon one when one is in the presence of genius and knows it. It's tough when you AREN'T a genius; you are just some fool who likes Art.

The Jimis die early. The rest of us slug along picking up the pieces. Maybe that's God's point; take what you're given and do what you can with it.

Damn, what a gem you’ve shared here. “Maybe that’s God’s point; take what you’re given and do what you can with it.”

A double pronged point whether you fall on either side of the line, be you a genius or a chump like the rest of us; whether you’re endowed with the likeness of the Potter’s hands or left with measly pieces of clay, we must take what we’re given and do what we can with it.
