Being Good Quotes

When you’re good to yourself, you’re actually being good to everyone around you because when you feel good, you’ll only react well to other people.

A chance to learn and to do it better next time. An opportunity to figure out how to bounce, not break. Don’t waste them Picture Quote #1

What he’d never understood about men in his position, in all the books he’d read and movies he’d seen about them, was clearer to him now: you couldn’t keep expecting wholehearted love without, at some point, requiting it. There was no credit to be earned for simply being good Picture Quote #1

The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist. The need to produce a great work of art makes it hard to produce any art at all... Fear is what blocks an artist.
