The Art Prophet by Cee Lopes

Then, a woman with a beret asked, " What of art and money?' And he answered, saying:
"Let there be no conflict betwixt money and art. Let them that produce good works of art
be showered upon in raging storms of golden shekels, so much that their storehouses may
be filled to the brim. Then, let them not hoard but scatter those coins as seed so that they may reap
of them a bountiful harvest"
  "But beware and always be wary of those that might, in any and all ways, condemn thy makers of art to
poverty, for most often, it be these ones who stand to profit most by thy works and benefit greatest
by thy sacrifice and thy submission."
  "Lastly, take no notice of those who stand aside the golden gate asking of thee so much in ransom.
The gate is not locked and you need not surrender but walk straightforward and enter therein.
