Remain humble. Stay positive. Create your own luck. Be nice. Be polite. - Hugh MacLeod

Good ideas come with a heavy burden. Which is why so few people have them. So few people can handle it.

Art suffers the moment other people start paying for it. The more you need the money, the more people will tell you what to do. The less control you will have. The more bullshit you will have to swallow. The less joy it will bring.

I work extremely hard doing what I love, mainly to ensure that I don't have to work extremely hard doing what I hate.
