Inspirational Quotes

Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists. There is, there has been, there will always be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits. It's made up of all those who've consciously chosen their calling and do their job with love and imagination…Difficulties and setbacks never quell their curiosity. A swarm of new questions emerges from every problem that they solve. Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous 'I don't know. Wislawa Szymborska
Inspiration comes unawares, from unaccountable sources that have nothing to do with planning or intelligence. Let it cool ever so slightly, and you are left, pen or brush in hand, with no inspiration at all. Gifted people need not, therefore, make a song and dance about being or supposing themselves superior. They simply happened to be born with that fortunate, subconscious equipment of theirs, and the mystery exists independently of intelligence or ambition. Maurice Chevalier
Inspiration will always sing; inspiration will never explain. We often sing lullabies to our children that we ourselves may sleep. All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind. Khalil Gibran

Inspiration follows aspiration. Rabindranath Tagore
Inspiration,' the false artist says,'it just comes to me.' And it shows. His pictures are as like as the four walls of his room -- morning, evening, midnight, noon. For myself, I have to search for it. The whole world is your palate, but only if you reach, take hold of what you need and pocket it. Kurt Schwitters
Pablo Picasso quote: "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working."
Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. Pablo Picasso
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Inspiration in desperation."
Inspiration in desperation. Stephenie Meyer
Inspired by the purse rather than the soul, the mercenary side fairly screams in many of the works put out by every day American publishers. Alma Gluck
Brendan Francis quote: "Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand..."
Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action. Brendan Francis
Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work. Kevin Eubanks
Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression. Arthur Erickson
