Quotes for a Friday
Be still when you have nothing to say. When genuine passion moves you, say what you're going to say, and say it hot. DH Lawrence
In one and the same fire clay grows hard and wax melts. Francis Bacon
Art washes aways from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso
The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It's not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away alone, and get to work. Augusten Burroughs

These are really good, but I especially love the Picasso.
I was trying to pick one I liked the best, but they are all really good. I think the last one.. no Picasso. Urgh.. ;)
I've been following D.H. Lawrence's advice as of late. I've been still for a while! ;o)
All are interesting. I need to think about them for a while.
