Truth, Maturity and Art

"Like many of the people I had read about, I set out on a long journey to find truth and beauty. As usual, the road led straight back to the beginning: home, country roads, the sun setting through the woods."
--Joyce Sutphen, poet

“Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.”
--Edith Wharton, writer
