"...The sole cause of the creation of art is the imperative necessity in some minds for the exact realization through definite and concrete forms of something that in its natural expression is not completely intelligible. The artist's mind is restless always in the presence of the confused medley of life, and achieves composure only in reducing selected volumes of this chaos to shape and order. That is, in fact, what creation means. And while he does this in the first place simply to satisfy his own needs, his art will give a measure of the same satisfaction to other men who come in contact with it..." [from chapter VIII: History and Art; in Lincoln: The World Emancipator (1920) by John Drinkwater]
