Do You Have A Favorite Artist Or Photographer Quote?

And the quote doesn't have to be from someone "famous" - it could be from you! So share it and it may become the favorite of others.

I have several, but this one is my favorite right now, as I seem to want to have my hand in many areas of creativity at once!

“I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment."
-- Marc Chagall,
Russian-French artist

Great quotes! Love'em all! Sometimes when it's a bad day, I simply say "Get'er done."

Actually, now that I think about it, I really say "Go lie down" because otherwise I'll wish I hadn't "gotten 'er done."

First most favorite quote:

"To have lived at all is a dream come true; to live in awe of the dream is cause to celebrate and revel in the wonder of Life and all its delicious bedlammy; from lovers spurned and fortunes lost to plots unbound and rivals crushed, let us bask in the splendifery and wallow in the mayhemble - be it good or bad, we celebrate life!" - Patrick Pierson

Second most favorite quote:

"Trains may find the open road intoxicating;
planes might spoil themselves with underwater reveries;
and while boats imagine refuge among the mists of wayward clouds,
I am the stuff for which these fancy flights are made,
my misfit life
 a candle in search of a dream." - Patrick Pierson, from Serendipity
