“It is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me.”
"It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion."
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

"When I am…completely myself, entirely alone…or during the night when I cannot sleep, it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly. Whence and how these come I know not nor can I force them…Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them gleich alles zusammen."
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Creativity
"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together, go to the making of a genius. Love, love, love: that is the soul of genius."
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Creativity
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
- Calvin Coolidge
Persistence
"I have stood on a mountain of no’s for one yes."
- Barbara Elaine Smith
Persistence
"First, forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice."
- Octavia Butler
