"There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration"

This quote speaks with the 2 various inspirations that drive artists to create. The first kind of artist is driven by an inner spirit that compels them to develop. They are unable to stay quiet and need to reveal themselves through their art. The second type of artist is driven by a desire to share the charm they have seen with others. They create art to show others the charm that has actually influenced them. Both types of artists are driven by an enthusiasm for producing and sharing art. They are joined in their desire to reveal themselves and to share their adoration of charm with others. Anna Katharine Green's quote talks to the power of art and the motivations that drive artists to produce.
