"It’s a curious thing. I suppose most people……" — Mark Van Doren

"It’s a curious thing. I suppose most people think of artists as impatient but I don’t know of any first-rate artist who hasn’t manifested in his career an appalling patience, a willingness to wait and to do his best now in the expectation that next year he will do better."

— Mark Van Doren
