Quotes for Creative Work

It asks for experiments, revisions, discarded attempts, patient attention and the willingness to make something before you know exactly what it will become. These quotes are for writers, designers, artists and makers who need a useful prompt to begin again, stay with the difficult middle or finish the work honestly.
