“Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.”
Robert Quillen
“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
Stacey Charter
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If you would not be forgotton as soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
Benjamin Franklin
“There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.”
Erica Jong
“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
