Encouragement Quotes

“I do not like the situation but must endure to fulfil the dream.”

“• 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.”

“Today if anything is trying to hold you back, give no attention to it. Get your hopes up, get your faith up, look up, and get ready to rise up.”

“If you're struggling today, remember that life is worth living and believe that the best is yet to come. Remember that you are loved, you matter, and never forget that there is always hope.”

“So much can change from one day to the next, but the one thing that always remains the same is God. Stay focused on Him. In God We Trust.”

“You're going to make it; You're going to be at peace; You're going to create, and love, and laugh, and live; You're going to do great things.”

“Loving someone doesn't mean you have to bow down to them or drop everything and run to their relentless calls. They must understand and love you enough to give you the respect that you deserve. Loving someone doesn't mean you have to shower them with gifts all the time. Give them your honesty, hope, joy, and encouragement on a daily basis.”

“Every single blade of grass And every flake of snow— Is just a wee bit different… There’s no two alike, you know. From something small like grains of sand, To that gigantic star— All were made with THIS in mind: To be just what they are! How foolish then to imitate— How useless to pretend! Since each of us comes from a MIND Whose ideas never end. There’ll only be just ONE of ME To show what I can do— And you should likewise feel very proud, There’s only ONE of YOU.”
