Can an artist create when the whole world is against him? I can ask the question differently : must an artist create if the whole world is against him? I am an artist and I work "not thanks but despite". I've achieved great results in my work despite the evil of some people that was directed against me. And now someone wants to get hold of my works for nothing. It vexes me.

Valentin Massov A creative person is doomed to be an outcast in our world. He looks in future and sees that the others don't see. He creates future by his creativity. He is not one of the many. He is the unique. A mob doesn't like the uniques. They speak furiously: "If you are not with us you are against us". They hate him for his talent. They turn him into a pariah. They kill him. And next they deplore deeply and erect a monument to him. Because he is no longer a threat to them.
