Positive Quotes to Inspire The Artist Within

Just because... sometimes we just need a little boost, an inspiring quote, a reminder of what we already know to be true about our inner strengths, about art, artists and creativity.

So here are some of my favorites... from my book Success Now! For Artists.  I hope you enjoy them.

"Embrace those big dreams that seem elusive and integrate them into your daily habits to make them tangible. What action could you take right Now! that would set your dream in motion? Create your master plan and plan your destiny!" ~ Renee Phillips

"Great minds have purposes; others simply have wishes."
~ Washington Irving

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
~ Marcel Proust

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." ~ Helen Keller

"Success should not be measured by external events – when you sell your first work, or have your first one-person show, or get a positive review by a critic, or when your work is collected by a museum. It should be a constant flame that glows steadily and triumphantly within you – originating from the knowledge that you create your destiny. You don’t need anyone – a dealer, an agent, an art critic or patron – to give you validation or approval. Success is yours NOW!"
~ Renee Phillips

"If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him… We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth."
~ John F. Kennedy
