“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”
Martha Graham
“The secret of life is in art.”
Oscar Wilde
“Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.”
“One must die to life in order to be utterly a creator”
Thomas Mann
“ Without the beast there is no comparable for beauty - you must have both in art and in life ”
Daniel Robert O'Neill
“Actions and words Part 2: With spears and fire? I think not, let be honest, communication has always been an equal with actions, it a fact. No action can be done by own strength alone, unless words can help in the form of understanding. Sometimes, we need both understanding and strength to unlock potential of our own.”
J C A Rowe
“Actions and words Part 1: Does actions really speak louder then words? Lot of people believe it true. If you are one of them, then let me ask you this, which is more powerful? The pen or the sword? The mentally or the physically? How did we get past 200,000 years of hardship and become what we are today?”
