There are clear differences between child and adult artistic activity. While the child may be aware that he is doing things differently from others, he does not fully appreciate the rules and conventions of symbolic realms; his adventurousness holds little significance. In contrast, the adult artist is fully cognizant of the norms embraced by others; his willingness, his compulsion, to reject convention is purchased, at the very least, with full knowledge of what he is doing and often at considerable psychic cost to himself (Artist Quotes)

For the artist who practises photography, capturing the image is learning how to sketch on some medium, but is only half the challenge; learning how to print is applying a subjective pallet to that sketch, and completes the creative process (Artist Quotes)
Ambition is vital, but dangerous: it is a keen motive and a driving force, but over what edge can it drive the artist? (Artist Quotes)
Boredom is the thing that regularly arrives between excitements and episodes of meaning: it is as natural as the tides, and in it an artist can drown (Artist Quotes)
Art and business may be strange bedfellows, but an artist must make room in her bed for both (Artist Quotes)
It is the job of each artist to believe in the possibility of meaningful, substantial, and sustainable change (Artist Quotes)
The artist must reckon with his own character flaws, which do not disappear just because he has been called to be an artist (Artist Quotes)
The artist who pictures sounds as colours, who feels the difference in microns between one sea green and another... is not attending to what the world considers important (Artist Quotes)
Hurray for criticism, if it means that an artist’s voice is heard. Let the wise artist invite criticism and survive it when it comes (Artist Quotes)
The artist can’t paint, sing, or dance without emotion: if he does, he is a machine masquerading as a person (Artist Quotes)
The artist is a God, but he is also an idiot. That is the human way (Artist Quotes)
The artist... may suppose that ideas are his chief currency; but unless he is also attuned to feelings, in life and in art, he will not move his fellow human beings (Artist Quotes)
When the artist activates his being, awakens to his surroundings, and sets himself the task of creating, connections are made out of conscious awareness that return coalesced as inspiration (Artist Quotes)
The artist dreams of works of real breadth; but, limited by his personality and the nature of his medium, limited by inner disturbances and loss of purpose, he often works more narrowly than he’d intended (Artist Quotes)
The wise artist makes peace with the fact that he will understand less than he had anticipated (Artist Quotes)
A time comes, after years in the trenches, when the artist begins to fathom what his career has looked like so far and what it will look like if he continues as he’s proceeded (Artist Quotes)
The artist, who must venture into the studio and risk there, and then venture into the marketplace and risk again, is obliged to learn how her defences work, so that she can drop and raise her guard instantly (Artist Quotes)
Talent is so loaded a word, so full to the brim with meanings, that an artist might be wise to forget about it altogether and just keep on working (Artist Quotes)
An artist... must actively caress wonder: for fascination, like the desire to play, can be eradicated by the rigors of living (Artist Quotes)
The artist is a man who finds that the form or shape of things externally corresponds, in some strange way, to the movements of his mental and emotional life (Artist Quotes)
Being an artist and being a teacher are two conflicting things. When I paint, my work manifests the unexpected... In teaching it’s just the opposite. I must account for every line, shape and colour and I am forced to give an explanation of the inexplicable and account for the variety of styles the students present (Artist Quotes)
