Contrary to Roachboy, I'm not sure how someone could create art without the thought "I'm going to create art". Sure, their thought is usually more specific (I'm going to create poetry), but how often do you just 'accidentally' create art? Maybe law school is frying my brain for this sort of thing, but a specific example would be helpful.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
