“If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!”
“Wild horses wouldn't draw it from you?”
“A nation's not a child, for God's sake. ... It's like a wild horse you tame by breaking it. Or a fiery woman you slap till she sees sense and warms your bed.”
“Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.”
“But talent—if you don't encourage it, if you don't train it, it dies. It might run wild for a little while, but it will never mean anything. Like a wild horse. If you don't tame it and teach it to run on track, to pace itself and bear a rider, it doesn't matter how fast it is. It's useless.”
“We cannot rein wild horses with silken braids.”
