Don't save the canary. Fix the coal mine.

I don’t think the shortage of artists has much to do with the innate ability to create or initiate. I think it has to do with believing that it’s possible and acceptable for you to do it. We’ve had these doors open wide for only a decade or so, and most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copyedit the world, not to design it.

You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.

If you have no wish, how can it possibly come true?

The only thing worse than starting something and failing... is not starting something.

Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.

The habit of doing more than is necessary can only be earned through practice.
