Quotes from creative people which inspire and motivate me
Pablo Picasso
When Brassaï asks whether Picasso’s ideas come to him
“by chance or by design,” Picasso responds:
I don’t have a clue. Ideas are simply starting points. I can rarely set
them down as they come to my mind. As soon as I start to work, others
well up in my pen.
To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin
drawing… When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going
through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more
than my own ideas.
