“‘Because, my friend Yeste, you are very famous and very rich, and so you should be, because you make wonderful weapons (things.) But you must also make them for any fool who happens along. I am poor, and no one knows me in all the world except you and Inigo, but I do not have to suffer fools.’
‘You are an artist,’ Yeste said.
‘No. Not yet. A craftsman only. But I dream to be an artist. I pray that someday, if I work with enough care, if I am very very lucky, I will make a weapon (thing) that is a work of art. Call me an artist then, and I will answer.’”
— William Goldman, The Princess Bride (mostly. The parentheses came after William Goldman.)
