They never tried to influence that art, they only bought it and raved over it, and copied it. For they were artists, too. — Langston Hughes

All kids draw and write poetry and everything, and some of us last until we're about eighteen, but most drop off at about twelve when some guy comes up and says, 'You're no good.'
