“If a thousand painters worked for a thousand years, they could not create a work of art as beautiful as you”

“Work as if you were to live a thousand years, play as if you were to die tomorrow.”

“The most beautiful work of art that we can create is this life.”

“In the end, what makes a book valuable is not the paper it’s printed on, but the thousands of hours of work by dozens of people who are dedicated to creating the best possible reading experience for you.”

“For a thousand years,and then a thousand more…I will love you.”

“Stay hungry. It worked for Michelangelo, it worked for Picasso, and it works for a hundred thousand artists who do it not for love (although that might play a part) but in order to put food on the table. If you want to translate the world, you need to use your appetites. Does this surprise you? It shouldn’t. There’s no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art.”
