Sometimes I miss out the mornings painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open. – Gustav Klimt

Something that irritates you and wont let you go. Thats the anguish of it. Do this book, or die. You have to go through that. Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all, endurance. – Source Unknown
