Understanding this quote
The quote connects artistic freedom with courage. Choosing what to create is only part of that freedom; the artist must also be willing to carry out the choice without fear. In other words, having options means little if fear prevents the artist from following through. The repeated “must” presents this courage as an essential responsibility of artistic independence.
