I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.: Federico Fellini (1920 - 1993)

Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.: Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931), Harper's Monthly, 1932

A whole generation is growing up which has been attracted to the hard disciplines of science and engineering by the romance of space.: Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - ), First on the Moon, 1970
The past slips from our grasp. It leaves us only scattered things. The bond that united them eludes us. Our imagination usually fills in the void by making use of preconceived theories...Archaeology, then, does not supply us with certitudes, but rather with vague hypotheses. And in the shade of these hypotheses some artists are content to dream, considering them less as scientific facts than as sources of inspiration.: Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971), Poetics of Music in the Form - Six Lessons
The stories of past courage can define that ingredient-they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.: Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)
