“You’re creating ‘ it comes from the heart, the spirit, the soul. You’re not manufacturing somebody else’s plan, somebody else’s blueprint, somebody else’s idea that’s not yours. So when you’re creating, that’s the beauty side of art, you know? It comes from within you.”-Alice Coltrane
“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”-Andy Warhol
“Because when you love something, you want to do it all the time, even if no one is paying you for it. At least that’s how I felt about drawing.”― Meg Cabot, All-American Girl
“When any civilization is dust and ashes,” he said, “art is all that’s left over. Images, words, music. Imaginative structures. Meaning—human meaning, that is—is defined by them. You have to admit that.”― Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crak
“In science, if you don’t do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn’t compose the ‘Ninth Symphony,’ no one else before or after is going to compose the ‘Ninth Symphony’ that he composed; no one else is going to paint ‘Starry Night’ by van Gogh.”-Neil deGrasse Tyson
