Shared Quotes:
“Art, at least art as I define it, is the intentional act of using your humanity to create a change in another person.” – Seth Godin
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow – whether there is a market for it or not! The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens afterward. I would tell all of you watching this screen: Before you go to bed, write a four line poem. Make it as good as you can. Don’t show it to anybody. Put it where nobody will find it. And you will discover that you have your reward.” – Kurt Vonnegut
“The reason I always maintained other streams of income was because I never wanted to burden my creativity with the task of providing for me in the material world.” – Liz Gilbert, ‘Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear’
