Part four of my quotes collection is dedicated to the artists! This one is a little bit longer, but this is because there were so many good artists and quotes I couldn’t pick a select few. As always, I hope you enjoy these quotes!
Leonardo da Vinci
“You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.”
“Learning never exhausts the mind.”
“Time abides long enough for those who make use of it.”
“It’s easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.”
“I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.”
Vincent van Gogh
“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
“The way to know life is to love many things.”
“Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.”
“One must work and dare if one really wants to live.”
“It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.”
“The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.”
“Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.”
“Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”
“As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.”
Florence Scovel Shinn
“Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.”
“You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which ‘clicks.‘”
Camille Pissarro
“It is absurd to look for perfection.”
“Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.”
“Don’t be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.”
“When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart.”
Pablo Picasso
“Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.”
“Action is the foundational key to all success.”
“Everything you can imagine is real.”
“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”
“I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”
“He can who thinks he can, and he can’t who thinks he can’t. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.”
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
Andy Warhol
“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
“People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.”
Salvador Dali
“Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.”
“Have no fear of perfection - you’ll never reach it.”
“Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.”
Georgia O’Keeffe
“I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”
“You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.”
Artemisia Gentileschi
“As long as I live I will have control over my being.”
Henri Matisse
“Creativity takes courage.”
“You study, you learn, but you guard the original naïveté. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.”
“There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”
“He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.”
“Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better.”
Corita Kent
“Flowers grow out of dark moments.”
“Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.”
“Love the moment and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.”
Michaelangelo
“Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.”
“A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.”
“There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.”
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”
“Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.”

Where the lost royal grandsons grew up separately; one in the spiritual planet of Bardottan, and the other hopping on different outer rim systems at a time - and when the two meet years later by accident, it’s toward the fulfillment of their birth right back on their home planet of Genosha.
Okay but imagine Yuuri retires from professional figure skating at 27, and he decides to go back to college to become a teacher.
So this boy walks into class sporting the just-rolled-out-of-bed look with the sex hair and the big comfy sweater and the starbucks cup in one hand.
And you know, he’s enjoying his life, he makes friends in his program and on the weekends he helps his husband teach cute little kids how to skate and they have this cozy little house together in a nice neighbourhood. He probably has girls and guys falling for him left and right.
And then one day, Yuuri’s out with his friends, and they’re at a cafe or something.
And a group of girls comes up to them, and they’re all blushing and nudging each other saying “You talk first!”.
So Yuuri just turns this absolutely blinding smile on them and asks, “Autographs?”
The girls squeak, and nod furiously.
“Sure!” he says, reaching out for the notebooks they’re holding out for him to sign.
And about ten minutes later, after several selfies and autographs and a lot of gushing and squealing and “Please let Viktor know we’re looking forward to Yuratchka’s upcoming season,” the girls leave.
So Yuuri turns back to his friends, and they’re all just staring at him with wide eyes and gaping mouths.
Yuuri kinda wonders if there’s something on his face.
The first thing that comes out of anyone’s mouths is, “…who’s Viktor?”
And Yuuri’s kinda confused as he replies, “….my husband?”
“YOU’RE MARRIED!?!?!?!?” his friends all shriek.
Yuuri looks down at his hand to make sure his ring is still there. “Yeah?” he says, holding his hand up.
“I thought that was just a fashion statement!” one of the girls exclaims.
“Why did they want your autograph though?” asks another of his friends, and Yuuri just looks away sheepishly.
“I’m…uh….a retired pro figure skater?” he asks, his voice going higher with embarrassment. “And I…uh…got 2 golds in the Grand Prix…and 2 golds in Worlds….and maybe a silver in Pyeongchang?”
His voice gets progressively quieter as his face gets even redder.
His friends are staring at him in horror and shocked disbelief now.
And he thinks he might as well get it all out now.
“And…my husband might be the most decorated athlete in figure skating history?”
