Poll :: New Year, New Quote

[ariestess]

So for the last couple of years, I've been putting in a new quote at the beginning of the year. Yep, it's that time again. I'd appreciate your assistance in choosing that new quote for 2010...

I really like most of those but I've just gotten Ursula Le Guin's Steering the Craft and fell in love with these two...

"Writing can be these things (self-expression, therapy, spiritual adventure); but first of all - and in the end, too - it is an art, a craft, a making. To make something well is to give yourself to it, to seek wholeness, to follow spirit. To learn to make something well can take your whole life. It's worth it."

"A skill is something you know how to do. Skill in writing frees you to write what you want to write. It may also show you what you want to write. Craft enables art. There's luck in art. There's the gift. You can't earn that. You can't deserve it. But you can learn skill, you can earn it. You can learn to deserve your gift."

Ooooers... I like those. I mean, my quote doesn't HAVE to be about writing, tho' they do tend to fall that way...

I always thought 'I was. I am. I will be.' pretty much sums things up. :-)
