If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I'm vulnerable to criticism. Any artist is, because you work alone in your studio and, until recently, critics were the only way you'd get any feedback.
