“ To labor in the arts for any reason other than love is prostitution. ”
A cavalryman's horse should be smarter than he is. But the horse must never be alowed to know this.
~ Steven Pressfield
A horse must be a bit mad to be a good cavalry mount, and its rider must be completely so.
The most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters except sitting down every day and trying.
We must do our work for its own sake, not for fortune or attention or applause.
