The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.

Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.

You don't have enough time to be both unhappy & mediocre. It's not just pointless; it's painful.

You cannot create a piece of art merely for money. Doing it as part of commerce so denudes art of wonder that it ceases to be art.

The job is not the work.

The best favors are worth doing for the doing, not because we'll ever get paid back appropriately.

Marketers want to get their messages in front of you. They must get their messages in front of you, just to survive. The only problem is-do you really want more marketing messages?
