As
I’m running off to watch the semifinals of the World Cup (no, the tournament
did not end when the U.S. lost), I thought I would just include some useful
advice from some famous artist, for artists and for life in general …
“Every
child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.” Pablo
Picasso
“If
you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint,
and that voice will be silenced.” Vincent Van Gogh
“Have
no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it.” Salvador Dali
“Curiosity
about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great
creative people.” Leo Burnett
“You
can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club.” Jack London
“Creativity
is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s
hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s
creativity.” Charles Mingus
“Originality
is nothing but judicious imitation.” Voltaire
