“If you really want to do something, no one can stop you. But if you really don’t want to do something, no one can help you”
― James A. Owen, Drawing Out The Dragons: A Meditation on Art, Destiny, and the Power of Choice

“I believe that every one of us has something that's very unique to us specifically. Something unique enough that no one else might really ever understand it — not our parents, or teachers, or best friends, or siblings.

It’s our point of view.

Our point of view is what makes us unique, because no one else — no one else — has your particular combination of thoughts, and dreams, and hopes, and desires, and ambitions and memories, and experiences. No one. And I believe that every once in a while, the Universe opens itself up to you and you alone, and shows you something that no one else is going to understand.  And you have to decide in that moment how much you believe in what you have seen — even if everyone else in the world tells you you're wrong.”

“The Secret of Drawing consists of just two things: 1) Making lines on paper; and 2) Choosing where they go.”

“Sometimes a catastrophe is simply a course correction.”
