“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into
action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you
block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not
have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with
other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the
channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep
open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No
artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer,
divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive
than the others.”
Martha Graham
