An artist is just a human masquerading as a God-like creature tricking people into believing in his art, when he himself doesn’t believe in them. An artist, however, is adored by everyone and loved by no one.

An artist continually makes desperate, hapless attempts to woo himself but fails miserably every single time.

This chaotic frenzy of creation and destruction continues eternally inside the mind of the artist like a song stuck on loop.

An artist is a hyperbole, personified. An artist is the nightmare of a realist because he can play with the dimensions of reality with absolute ease.
