Bite-sized inspiration(s)

Some favorite quotations about art:

Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one. --stella adler

All art requires courage. --anne tucker


Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free. --ralph waldo emerson

Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on the wings of misery and travail. --theodore dreiser

Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul -- and you answer. --star riches
