Thomas Edison // "Pretty much everything will come to him who hustles while he waits. I believe that restlessness is discontent and discontent is merely the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure."
Billie Holiday // "If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling."
Today on Nitch.com -- NOTES on Keith Haring // "Every time I make something I think about the people who are going to see it... and every time I see something, I think about the person who made it."
Ernest Hemingway // "Eschew the monumental. Shun the epic. All the guys who can paint great big pictures can paint great small ones."
Arthur Miller // "I believe in work. If somebody doesn't create something, however small it may be, he gets sick. An awful lot of people feel that they're treading water -- that if they vanished in smoke, it wouldn't mean anything at all in this world. And that's a despairing and destructive feeling. It'll kill you."
Marc Chagall // "Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things I love."
Margot Fonteyn // "Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike."

Mark Twain // "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."
Lee Clow // "Just because it's all been done, doesn't mean it's all been done well."
Bill Cunningham // "A lot of people have taste, but they don't have the daring to be creative."
William S. Burroughs // "Nothing is more provocative than minding your own business."
