Encouragement Quotes

“The summer gig turned into my day job. I was an arts administrator who helped make indie flicks. At the filmmakers' encouragement, I tried shooting a couple of shorts of my own. Directing was stressful, it was not my strength. But writing the scripts and helping others with their scripts - that was a gas. Making stuff up the way I wanted to see it was the biggest kick I ever experienced.”

“Obviously, there's all sorts of life happening all around us, but on a human level, I'm just interested in people making informed decisions. You know, increasing their awareness. And also, trying to encourage people to be more fascinated with information and science and knowledge of all sorts, instead of, you know, it's a generalization, but the encouragement by society, the reflections that society gives us, which is media, television, art - anything, really.”

“I also got encouragement from my teachers at primary school but one person in particular who had a significant impact on my lean towards art is Mr. Luigi St. Omer. Mr. St. Omer was the one who always reminded me that I should not settle for less than greatness in my art. He saw that I had the potential and he helped me develop that talent.”

“Exact science and its practical movements are no checks on the greatest poet, but always his encouragement and support ... The sailor and traveller, the anatomist, chemist, astronomer, geologist, phrenologist, spiritualist, mathematician, historian and lexicographer are not poets, but they are the lawgivers of poets and their construction underlies the structure of every perfect poem.”

“My own duty as a teacher...is not so much to interpret Beethoven, Wagner, or other masters of the past, but to give what encouragement I can to the young musicians of America. I...hope that just as this nation has already surpassed so many others in marvelous inventions and feats of engineering and commerce, and has made an honorable place for itself in literature in one short century, so it must assert itself on the...art of music...To bring about this result, we must trust the very youthful enthusiasm and patriotism of this country.”

“• I hope to encourage you. I hope to show you that art isn’t just for the gifted. It’s not a talent you need to be born with. All of us, ALL OF US are artists. You don’t have to make art a career. You don’t need to paint to be an artist. Your art might be music or dance or poetry or knitting—or whatever you do to create something good to bring into this world. We’re all artists in some way. Wherever our passions lie. In that thing we do that brings us joy.”

“• It’s a sad commentary on our society that artists are so often depicted as degenerates and derelicts. Tragic and disheveled subhu¬mans with nowhere to live and not a penny to their name. I mean, it’s kind of true, but it’s still hurtful.”

“• Artists are more than our art. We’re more than what we do. We’re mothers or sisters or uncles or sons. We’re friends or teammates or class¬mates or neighbors. We’re Hes and Shes and Theys and Thems. We have beliefs in greater things, be it our Gods or the Universe or ourselves. We’re more than artists—and we can do more than just BE artists. We can be kind.”

“We all feel the pangs of imposter syndrome or the dread of not being good enough or the emptiness of artist’s block. Regardless of what medium you use to make art, please know that we are all struggling alongside you.”

“I think the best thing I’ve learned to do is to listen. Listen to marginalized groups. Listen to people with disabilities. Listen to women. Listen to people of color. Listen to people in foreign lands. Listen to people who worship differently than you. Listen to people who love differently than you. Listen to people who are suffering. Listen to people who just need someone to hear them. Listen.”

“No one has the right to tell others what to do. Not in their art. And absolutely not in their personal lives. We should never tell others how to act. How to dress. How to talk. How to love. How to worship. There is so much beauty in our diversity. In our uniqueness. Our job as artists is to celebrate that. To see the beauty and joy in what makes us different.”

“Art is creation. It’s taking a blank page and turning it into a poem. Stretching out an empty canvas and breathing life onto it with the stroke of a brush and a swath of paint. It’s sitting before a quiet piano and wak¬ing it up with a song. Where there was nothing, an artist creates some¬thing. Something beautiful. Thought-provoking. Tragic. Controversial. That’s what artists do: We create.”

“If our strength in learning the arts is not turned to weakness, that is, in coming down along side to console and comfort, attending the infirm, the poor, the needy and the elderly, then we have pathetically failed with our true art, the art of humanity–of life. If this is so, all of our studies have been, like a warped, pitiless, cruel pile of cold rusty scrap metal on a gray drizzly day, in vain. If this lesson is too tough for us, we must remember that it is Jesus’ preferred way. He comes along side the sick, the feeble, the downtrodden, even the most wretched, disgusting and perverse. As He hung upon that splintˊry red cross and imparts His Spirit to all who seek Him, no, not even the fiery excelsior angels of the Highest Courts of Heaven have an excuse not to unflinchingly obey the clarion call of Him who beckons us to reach out and help lift from the mud those who cannot get up. (Martial Arts on Noah's Ark)”
