I thought that this would be a good idea. Post quotes and sayings that have something to do with art or anything of that nature (motivation, inspiration, learning, etc). Hopefully what will come of this thread is to be inspired, learn, and just a have a good time reading quotes. So feel free to add your favorite quotes that others have said or perhaps one that you have come up with yourself.
If this topic has been done before I apologize. I looked and did not see a similar thread.
