We are artists, we have a lot of interests. For us it’s more about learning than selling. That makes it difficult in this material society. Follow the path that makes you happy.  -L.J. Armstrong

Wisdom from one of my favorite college teachers. She is amazing.

“Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die.” —

Pablo Neruda (via philphys)

Love Neruda!

“Allow sufficient time during daylight to make an occasional visit to museums or an occasional sketch or an occasional bike ride. Sketch in cafés and trains and streets. Cut the movies! Library for references once a week.” —Henry Miller’s creative routine and his 11 commandments of writing. (via explore-blog)

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” —

 ~Terry Pratchett, from “A Hat Full of Sky”
