"Tolstoys view on art"

"If a man is infected (is moved by or is very passionate about it) by the author's condition of soul, if he feels this emotion and this union with others, then the object which has effected this is art.  Degree of infectiousness is also the sole measure of excellence in art.  The stronger the infection, the better is the art as art, speaking how apart from its subject matter, i,e., not considering the quality of the feelings it transmits, and the degree of infectiousness of art depends on three conditions:
1. Individuality of the feeling transmitted
2. Carelessness with which the feeling is transmitted
3. Sincerity of the artist "

What you think?  I strongly believed that your past (junk) is the best media to create your master piece.
