It is better to have

Lost and lost than to have

Never tried before

Too many people

Climb upon the cross, just so

They’re seen from afar

Adapted from Albert Camus, The Fall

You see Polaris

Only making new mistakes

And not in old ones

There is freedom to

See, the significance in

Insignificance

‘When one artist talks

Of another, he talks

Of himself, always’

Adapted from Milan Kundera

Real suffering is

Melancholy than chaos

Dark lightness of being

Adapted from Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

What we do not choose

We cannot consider our

Merit or failure

No one can make you

Feel inferior without

Your acquiescence

Addiction is a

Prison of the mind, built from

Bricks of pain and torment

‘To labor in the

Arts for reason other than

Love: prostitution’

Adapted from Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

‘Ask yourself, if I

Were the last person on earth

Would I still do this’

Adapted from Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

We have a right to

Our labour, but not to the

Fruits of our labour

Krishna

‘Creative work is

A gift to the world, don’t resist

Your contribution’

Adapted from Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
