"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." Dr Suess. "If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle."  Albrecht Durer. "Life is the art of drawing without an eraser." - John W. Gardner

Art quotes are the best... Just a snippet from the heart and mind of an artist that sticks and we are left to be inspired by it.  We do this ourselves daily without realizing it.  I think we should be ourselves but I also think we should be mindful of the effect we have on others for good or for not so good in varying degrees.  I try to keep this thought in mind.  We are who we think we are, we are who others think we are, and we are what we think others think we are and it could go deeper.  In the end the point is be kind and generous to yourself and others. This helps us create great art from the heart! 

Be yourself, everyone else is taken,
