My definition of art contains three elements:
•Art is made by a human being.
•Art is created to have an impact, to change someone
else.
•Art is a gift. You can sell the souvenir, the canvas, the
recording... but the idea itself is free, and the generosity
is a critical part of making art.
By my definition, most art has nothing to do with oil
paint or marble. Art is what we're doing when we do our
best work. S e t h G o d in : L in c h p in

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of
other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner
voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
