I've taken the liberty of putting a few quotes below - words that have
crossed my mind these past weeks thinking about the Elton we got to
know only too briefly. I ask the readers indulgence, Thank You. . .

"The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him
will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates." - T. S.
Eliot
"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination
is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination
encircles the world." - Albert Einstein
"No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time. It is just that
the others are behind the time." - Martha Graham
"Ars
Longa, Vita Brevis - Art is Long, Life is Short" - Hippocrates
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad."
- Aldous Leonard Huxley
"Believe in whatever harmless lies make you happy, healthy, brave
and kind." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
"I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of
creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult
search within." - Louise Nevelson
