“The Ancient Romans did not regard acts of genius to emanate from within an individual - but rather saw it as a collaboration between a spirit of creativity and a human being.

The way we look at classics has been hijacked by the intelligentsia - Shakespeare is highbrow and seen as something clever people do, which isn't right at all. I basically pull inspiration from everywhere.” PeopleWorldWayLooksMayHas BeensInspirationViewsGrewNormalGrew UpRegardCleverNonsenseProceduresSatiricalSilliness Author:Jasper Fforde
