Excerpt: “True stories are not often good art. The relations and experiences of real men and women rarely fall in such symmetrical order as to make an artistic whole. Until they have had such treatment as we give stone in the quarry or gems in the rough they seldom group themselves with that harmony of values and brilliant unity of interest that result When art comes in - not so much to transcend nature as to make nature transcend herself.” (Wikipedia)
