The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations.

Nothing dies harder than a bad idea. And few ideas are worse than the ones we have about art.

Your mood doesn't really matter. Some of the best creative work gets done on the days when you feel that everything you're doing is just plain junk.

As children we hoard and gloat over words. Words give ownership: we name our world and we claim it...Children trust the power of words.

You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.

Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.

For today, all you need is the grace to begin beginning.
