"Talent is a long patience. It is a matter of looking at anything you want to express long enough and closely enough to discover in it some aspect that nobody has yet seen or described. In everything there is an unexplored element because we are prone by habit to use our eyes only in combination with the memory of what othersbefore us have thought about the thing we are looking at. The most insignificant thing contains some little unknown element.

We must find it...

It is in this way that we become original."

Guy de Maupassant
