Inspirational art quotes

If you want to say 'I can't', rather say, 'I can't yet'
Beware of self-criticism, you have to protect yourself
If you can dream it, you can achieve it
If you believe you can, you can
Never let go of a dream until you are ready to wake up and make it happen
Anytime the going seems easier, better check and see if you're not going downhill
It's alright to be content with what you have, never with what you are
Never retreat in the face of difficulties. Advance as conditions permit. If conditions don't permit, create those conditions
Make no small plans, for they have no capacity to stir mens souls
If at first you don't succeed, try, and try again
There are a lot of opportunities, if there aren't, you can make them, make or break them
There can be no bright lights, without dark shadows
The darkest shadow is always behind the brightest light
If there is no light at the end of the tunnel, switch on your flashlight
He who asks looks like a fool for a minute. He who does not ask looks like a fool for a lifetime
To keep art in your heart, let your brush linger on your finger
When you start looking for more to say, you have said enough, so make yourself stop
As music is the poetry of sound, so painting is the poetry of sight

Didn't you say smokers make the best painters, as they usually step back from their work? What brand do you recommend?

My eyes are opened
Seriously, I find I do see things quite differently. The colouring and shade tones seem to stand out more, little things that tended to be overlooked are noticed. It really is a new world out there, free of lifes troubles if you're willing to let go. Just light and colour. Take it all in.
I thank you and Dennis for being a part of it.

Just thought those from Nolan were good to read again, and added a few from the great artists.
