" The ideal is what matters most in an artist, because it always reflects itself in his works of art. Even in an imperfect work, all those who have an high ideal necessarily introduce within it something good and beautiful. The perfection of a work does not speak of an high ideal, it only reveals know-how and technical abilities. It sometimes happens that an artist presents a work inspired by the superior regions, but not very well made technicly ; that dosen't matter. If he as a high ideal and he perseveres, the technique will come. That is what the majority of people who give first priority to talent, without wanting to know how it will be used and what it will express, have not understood. Without an high ideal, talent can lead an artist to great misfortunes. That is why he must place an high ideal as his first priority and support it, nourrish it, talent will then come also ; whereas the artist who leaves aside his ideal, sooner or later loses his gift. All the possibilities of creations for humans, whether they be in the fields of science, art, and even in daily life, depend on their ideal. "
