We are Shakespeare

Saxat från Man bytes Hollywood.


"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him. No man yet knows what it is, nor can, till that person has exhibited it. Where is the master who could have taught Shakespeare? Where is the master who could have instructed Franklin, or Washington, or Bacon, or Newton? Every great man is a unique. The Scipionism of Scipio is precisely that part he could not borrow. Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Amen! Och nu jädrar, Medeltida-'Bridget Jones'-möter-'Alien'-manus. Mitt kall.
