„Vždy snívajte a mierte vyššie, ako si myslíte, že dokážete. Nesnažte sa byť lepším len kvôli tomu, že chcete prekonať svojich rovesníkov alebo predchodcov. Snažte sa v prvom rade prekonať sám seba.“

Originál

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

Paris Review interview (1958)
Kontext: Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. An artist is a creature driven by demons. He don’t know why they choose him and he’s usually too busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.
