If you're an original thinker, you are going get told 'no' a lot, and you have to be able to hear 'no' many times from the bankers and trust that at some point, someone is going to recognize that you are an artist and not a can of soda. (Nick Offerman)

The small are always dependent on the great; they are "small” precisely because they think they are independent. The great thinker is one who can hear what is greatest in the work of other "greats” and who can transform it in an original manner.

Martin Heidegger

At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. No record of it needs to be kept and you don't need someone to share it with or tell it to. When that happens - that letting go - you let go because you can.

Toni Morrison

John Kenneth Galbraith

I've been married too many times. How terrible to change children's affiliations, their affections - to give them the insecurity of placing their trust in someone when maybe that someone won't be there next year.

Elizabeth Taylor

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.
