About this quote

This famous line suggests that true creative genius requires a noble soul and cannot exist alongside malice or moral corruption. Pushkin proposes that genuine art stems from human empathy and light. While a cruel person might possess sharp intellect or technical skill, true aesthetic greatness requires a moral clarity that evil acts inevitably destroy.

The line comes from Alexander Pushkin’s 1830 verse drama Mozart and Salieri, one of his Little Tragedies. It explores the famous, though historically untrue, legend that the envious composer Salieri poisoned Mozart.

People often hang this print in a home study or creative studio to encourage high moral purpose in work.
