Wisdom of "the Incomparable"

"I feel that, if I were ever quite satisfied, any power I possess would leave me. It is the divine discontent that drives us artists always onward. People wonder why we are never at rest. Remember, we surrender the things that others find so beautiful - the divine wonder of real home life, the quiet growth with and for one's surroundings - but it is because ambition will not let us rest. I do not excuse myself of that feeling - without it the world would lose much that is best of the intangible things that its restless artists give it..."
- Anna Pavlova
