The Origin of Great Minds

Just like how the world has wonders we know not of, the mind has ideas caged unless released by a pen. This starts a masterpiece. A part of history that plays a great role in the future. The inspiration for an upcoming art piece. The ingredient that creates great minds. That's the beauty of literature-- limitless and capable.

Nothing started with nothing. Behind every great artwork is an incentive that worked its way up to the creator's mind. Whether its nature, experience, or just random sightings, what one needs to know is that it aided the origination of a piece of inspiration. Take Shakespeare for instance. William Shakespeare, regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist, gave birth to over 40 plays and poems that are still re-enacted and adapted up to this date. His influence on literature is unparalleled. Novelists such as Thomas Hardy, William Faulkner, and Charles Dickens owe much to Shakespeare. He has also inspired many painters and his use of language helped shape modern English.

As once said, literature is limitless and capable. What it has is timeless and irreplaceable. It opens our eyes to the things we haven't seen. It opens our minds to the things we haven't learned. And it open's our hearts to feelings we haven't got the chance to experience. That's how true inspirations are found. The same kind of inspiration that creates great minds behind great artworks.
