"What's clear is that it's healthiest if we make a daily appointment to disconnect from the world so that we can connect with ourselves. Kids, jobs, sleep, and a thousand other things will get in the way, but we have to find our own sacred place, our own sacred time."
(Austin Kleon, Keep Going)
"None of us know what will happen. Don't spend time worrying about it. Make the most beautiful thing you can. Try to do that every day. That's it."
(Laurie Anderson, citée dans Austin Kleon, Keep Going)
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
(Annie Dillard, citée dans Austin Kleon, Keep Going)
"I think I need to keep being creative, not to prove anything but because it makes me happy just to do it... I thin, trying to be creative, keeping busy, has a lot to do with keeping you alive."
(Willie Nelson, cité dans Austin Kleon, Keep Going)
"I mean, yes, we're sinking, but the music is exceptional."

« You have to remember that your work is something you do, not who you are. This is especially hard for artists to accept, as so much of what they do is personal. Keep close to your family, friends, and the people who love you for you, not just the work. »
(Austin Kleon, Show your work)
