Chuck Close // "The advice I like to give...is to not wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself...if you just get to work, something will occur to you."
Jimi Hendrix // "It all has to come from inside."
Walt Whitman // "Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul."
