Amanda Palmer Quotes

“As I moved through my life as a statue and later as a musician, I started to understand. There’s a difference between wanting to be looked at and wanting to be seen.”
― Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

“A veces la gente no está a la altura de la confianza que depositamos en ellos.
Cuando eso ocurre, la reacción correcta no es:
"¡Mierda! ¡Si es que no se puede confiar en nadie!"
La reacción correcta es:
"Hay gente que da pena."
Y seguir adelante.”
― Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

“Isn't it amazing
How we can never tell
Who is in an identical hell”
― Amanda Palmer

“you can do nothing. or you can do something. if you do something, you will probably get told you are doing it imperfectly. you will probably be scolded for getting the tone wrong, the sentiment wrong, the wording wrong, or the timing wrong.
do it anyway.
do it anyway.
keep doing the things.
the only alternative is to do nothing, and nowadays that’s exactly what nobody needs. keep doing. get it wrong. get it wrong. get it wrong. and keep going. the enemy of progress is perfection. keep going. keep doing.”
― Amanda Palmer
