The world is crazy. Creative work is hard. Life is short and art is long. - Austin Kleon

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you look at the world this way, you stop worrying about what’s “good” and what’s “bad” — there’s only stuff worth stealing, and stuff that’s not worth stealing.

And remember: If you want maximum artistic freedom, keep your overhead low. A free creative life is not about living within your means, it’s about living below your means.
