“What I mean is sometimes, for an artist, chronic pain can be a gift.”
“❤Sometimes our greatest gifts and talents are birthed through great pain and suffering”
“The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.”
“Pain is always emotional. Fear and depression keep constant company with chronic hurting.”
“Sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”
“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.”
