Ham of Bone has not been sitting at home watching "Average Joe". He's been writing screenplay revisions between draughts of Goethe's biography and offers this:
In "Conversations of Goethe" by Eckermann, Goethe says:
"If at present you treat only small subjects, freshly dashing off what every day offers you, you will generally produce something good, and each day will bring you pleasure."
Later in the book one finds this gem:
"Inferior talents do not enjoy art for its own sake; while at work they have nothing before their eyes but the profit they hope to make when they have done. With such worldly views and tendencies, nothing great was ever yet produced."
