Sometimes, a few words can open doors inside us. Here are 3 quotes that deeply influenced how I view creativity:
- “You don’t have to be good to start, but you have to start to be good.” – Zig Ziglar
This freed me from perfectionism. I started painting without fearing the outcome. - “The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.” – Neil Gaiman
This reminds me why creating matters — not just for others, but for myself. - “Creativity takes courage.” – Henri Matisse
Every time I doubt myself, I remember this. Art requires bravery — to be seen, to be vulnerable.
