“The sign of the amateur is overglorification of and preoccupation with the mystery. The professional shuts up. She doesn't talk about it. She does her work.”
“The professional loves her work. She is invested in it wholeheartedly. But she does not forget that the work is not her.”
“... not talking about things she doesn't understand to people who do or about things she does to people who don't.”
“A professional is a man who can do his job when he doesn't feel like it; an amateur is one who can't when he does feel like it. ”
“We live and work in a world that carries preoccupations about money, but what does the soul care about such things?”
“I am not a professionally trained professional. I am an amateur professional!”
