“Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? / Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.”
Bible

Leonardo da Vinci
“The true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and no other task is of any consequence.”
