I feel as if I were doing what I should be doing - the feeling I have when intent in my studio  (Anne Truitt Quotes) Their [artists’] essential effort is to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.

This is what artists have going for them  (Anne Truitt Quotes) I worked in between carpools and buying food and cooking and whatever else I had to do. I lived an outside life, but really I was living an inside life  (Anne Truitt Quotes) A mystery confounds the problem of industry in art. In the last analysis, to work is simply not enough. But we have to act as if it were, leaving reward aside  (Anne Truitt Quotes) The shape of my work’s development becomes a little clearer every time I am forced to articulate it  (Anne Truitt Quotes) No one questions the fact that verbal language has to be learned, but the commonplaceness of visual experience betrays art; people tend to assume that, because they can see, they can see art  (Anne Truitt Quotes) There’s a small still center into which conception can arrive.
