“All artists are vain, they long to be recognized and to leave something to
posterity. They want to be loved, and at the same time they want to be free.
But nobody is free.” (Francis Bacon)
“And thou, wasted one, what wilt thou do? In vain shalt thou make thyself fair;
thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.” (Jeremiah 4:30)
