“I think that there's a particular type of person who goes into children's theater, and then goes into theater in high school. There was something about the guys I knew in theater, we were all very vulnerable.

“For me, I was in school and I pushed myself to be a good student, just because that's the type of person I was, but I never had a connection to any of it. I don't think my brain functioned in a way that was at its height, when I was in school. I needed something like art to really value the way my mind works. I wasn't reaching my full potential by sitting in a classroom and reading from a book. My mind didn't work that way.” ThinkingWayMindPersonsArtBookSchoolValuesReadingBrainStudentsTypeNeededSittingConnectionsHeightReachingClassroomFull PotentialGood Students Author:Misty Copeland

“Incapacity to appreciate certain types of beauty may be the condition sine qua non for the appreciation of another kind; the greatest capacity both for enjoyment and creation is highly specialized and exclusive, and hence the greatest ages of art have often been strangely intolerant. The invectives of one school against another, perverse as they are philosophically, are artistically often signs of health, because they indicate a vital appreciation of certain kinds of beauty, a love of them that has grown into a jealous passion.” KindMayArtAgeSchoolCertainPassionConditionsCreationTypeCapacityAppreciateAppreciationEnjoymentJealousExclusiveIncapacity Author:George Santayana

“If there's a character type I despise, it's the all-capable, all-knowing, physically perfect protagonist.
