Re: Personally written wisdom sayings
An artist can be as passionate as you like and still produce **** in a can. For art you need to make some effort and cherish the craft of art to produce something worthwhile.Greta wrote: ↑May 11th, 2018, 7:14 pmI would say that art without passion is like sex without love.
For me, art without craft seems more akin to the first fumbling efforts in the back seats of cars. Naive art, which occasionally be wonderful - as can some cynical art and sex, for that matter. Trashiness in life has its place
Any brute can make sex passionately without any love.

If one is inhabiting lofty peaks, then almost everything appears small.
I'm not considering people's abilities from that vantage point.

Re: Personally written wisdom sayings
I do not think "abilities" comes into your purview at all.
What I dislike in "Art" with a capital A, is that people who make sh1t in a can are the ones claiming the lofty peaks.

True. I heard a woman talk on her cell at the local auto-body shop. "Honey, I am going to be late with dinner. I was stopping at a red light and someone came into me from behind."
A happy accident: just is.

Socrates knew the value of a lot of things, but he did not know their price.
For instance, he taught for free. Argued for free. Grinned for free after each won debate.

The feeling that you are special, at its best when grounded in humility and with an aversion to developing a sense of entitlement which generates bad boundaries.

Is that a lower-case "L" or an upper-case "i"? Or is that simply a vertical line?
Because if it's an "i", there is one.
