From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-12-28:
"If you're an artist, you do your art, no matter what it is. No matter whether or not anybody else sees it. If you're a writer, you write. If you're a painter, you paint. If it's good, you will probably sell it, but you will probably never make enough money to live on from your art alone -- hardly anybody does. Remember that your work can always be better than it is and that you can always improve your craft." -- Barbara Crafton, in The Geranium Farm(submitted to the mailing list by Jeannette Cezanne)
