“The only good copies are those which make us see the absurdity of bad originals.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Realism to be effective must be a matter of selection. ... genius chooses its materials with a view to their beauty and effectiveness; mere talent copies what it thinks is nature, only to find it has been deceived by the external grossness of things.”
