“I'm speaking of the pursuit of excellence in all things. All things! Presence of mind and devotion to craft. A great artist has these. A great chef. A great master of tea. There's powerful kung fu in a well-built house or an eloquent letter, but the limit of your imagination is bones breaking and bullets flying.” MindWellsArtistHouseImaginationPowerfulMastersLimitsBuiltAll ThingsLettersExcellenceBonesPursuitFlyingDevotionCraftsTeaBulletsChefGreat ArtGreat ArtistEloquentKung FuPresence Of MindPursuit Of Excellence Author:Scott Lynch
“The pursuit of art is a delicate balance between influence and self-assertiveness. As self-realized artists, we all have different levels of tolerance for this mystery.

“If you loved everything you were writing, you would be deluding yourself or a complete and absolute narcissist. It's not about liking what you write, it's about improving with every word, little by little, exploring your craft, becoming the artist you hope to be one day. And you can only do that by working at it every day. It doesn't happen overnight, it doesn't happen over a weekend, it is a lifelong pursuit.” IfsWritingLittlesBookHappensWould BeArtistBecomingOne DayAbsolutesPursuitCraftsComicWeekendComic BookExploringImprovingLifelongNarcissist Author:Brian Michael Bendis
