Words to Live by (not really) but fun to read

I don't want to know too much about myself. — Robert Frost
 
[For the artist] there is a stage in which the inner vision seems much richer and finer than any outer manifestation. It has a vast, an enticing aura of implications that are lacking in the object of external vision. — John Dewey
 
All landscapes are imaginary. — J. Edson Hibble

The reader may even reliably calculate that the time it takes to read a comic strip story to the time it took to draw it is roughly 1:1,000, and I'm not exaggerating. — Chris Ware
 
Two dead ends, but you still got to choose. — Tom Waits
 
Your family are not likely to be among the chief appreciators of your work. At best they may be slightly embarrassed. At worst, entirely horrified. Count yourself blessed if they tactfully refrain from joining the picket lines.* — J. Edson Hibble
 
How about bringin' 'em to so I can knock 'em out again? I ain't quite satchisfied yet. — Popeye
