While preparing for my presentation at PechaKucha Night (which is tomorrow, doors at 6:30, show at 7:30 pm, tickets $12 at the door) I found some new quotes which I have added to my page titled Quotables.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
– Scott Adams
Out of limitations comes creativity.
– Debbie Allen
Faith is not being sure where you’re going but going anyway.
– Frederick Buechner
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Don’t wait for a good idea to come to you. Start by realising an average idea – no one has to see it. If I hadn’t made the works I’m ashamed of, the ones I’m proud of wouldn’t exist.
– Polly Morgan
“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”
– Andy Warhol

Oh, the thinks you can think up
if only you try.” Dr. Suess
