“in literature, what we call progress doesn’t exist, just as, for example, we don’t get better at dreaming over time:”
― Enrique Vila-Matas, Mac's Problem

“First find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.”
― Tara Westover

“art for me is a way to remark upon solitude, for myself and others. A way to mark time.”
― Kate Zambreno, Drifts

“Living life as an artist is a practice.
You are either engaging in the practice
or you’re not.

It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it.
It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.”
You are either living as a monk or you’re not.

We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.

The real work of the artist
is a way of being in the world.”
― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
