The artist alone among men knows what true humility means. His reach forever exceeds his grasp. He can never be satisfied with his work. He knows when he has done well, but he knows he has never attained his dream. He knows he never can.
RHETA CHILDE DORR, A Woman of Fifty
Art is a microscope which the artist fixes on the secrets of his soul, and shows to people these secrets which are common to all.
In every artist we can perceive a man with both a message and a method. His message may be innate in him, but his method he has to acquire from others.
BRANDER MATTHEWS, The Principles of Playmaking
The true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for a living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, Man and Superman
There are two men inside the artist, the poet and the craftsman. One is born a poet. One becomes a craftsman.
I am an artist... I am here to live out loud.
