“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 spirit might have moved on to some other lucky soul.” HumansSoulSometimesInspirationMightSpiritIndividualHuman BeingsCreativitySawsDivineGeniusLuckyRegardMovedAncientCollaborationMoved OnEmanateDivine Inspiration Author:Liz Garbus
