Our best work can't possibly appeal to the average masses, only our average work can. Finding the humility to happily walk away from those that don't get it unlocks our ability to do great work.

We don't need to be taught to make art, but sometimes we need permission to do so. Following instructions is overrated.

We're going to spend our entire future living in tomorrow-investing now, when it's difficult, is the single best moment.
