On Starting Again

6 Comments

I’m reading Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking. This is a book I’ve ready many times before, but I always find something new in it. I share this quote from the book because it’s relevant to me today:

“Quitting is fundamentally different from stopping. The latter happens all the time. Quitting happens once. Quitting means not starting again – and art is all about starting again.”

  3. I’m not much of an artist. So that means I’m a quitter. 😆 Well at least I’m not a stopper. Ahihihi. Nice quote.
