James Lee Burke Quotes

Money can’t buy happiness but it’ll sure keep a mess of grief off your front porch Picture Quote #1

How do you explain to yourself the casual manner in which you threw your life away? Picture Quote #1

Age is a peculiar kind of thief. It slips up on you and steps inside your skin and is so quiet and methodical in its work that you never realize it has stolen your youth until you look into the mirror one morning and see a man you don’t recognize Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever quit. Never quit. Never show anybody you’re hurt. Grin and walk through the cannon smoke. It will drive them up the wall. You always stay true to your own principles. You always believe in your gift. God doesn’t make mistakes when he presents someone with a gift like that. It’s there for a reason. Tell the naysayers, those who reject you, to drop dead! Who cares? Picture Quote #1

Write for the love of your art. Someplace down the road, the money, the fame, they’ll come, but by that time you won’t be thinking in terms of money or fame Picture Quote #1

You do it a day at a time. You just put your rejection slips in a shoebox and tell yourself one day you’re going to autograph them and sell them at auction Picture Quote #1

If you don’t compromise your gift, if you write each day as well as you can, and then submit your work and not worry about it and go on to the next piece, you suddenly find oddly enough that you’re no more interested in the applause than the silence. You don’t hear either one of them. You can never listen to the naysayers. If you do you won’t survive Picture Quote #1

And every good artist knows that the gift comes from somewhere else, and it’s there for a reason, and that’s to make the world a better place Picture Quote #1

Age is a clever thief. It takes a little from you each day, so you’re not aware of your loss until it’d irreversible Picture Quote #1

In that moment, when watches and clocks misbehave and you feel a cold vapor wrap itself around your heart, you unconsciously draw a line at the bottom of a long column of numbers and come up with a sum. Perhaps it’s one that fills you with contentment and endows you with a level of courage and an acceptance that you didn’t know you possessed.Or maybe not Picture Quote #1

The only thing an artist has to remember is to never lose faith in his vision Picture Quote #1

Why do I always feel like you’re trying to staple my umbilical cord to the corner of your desk? Picture Quote #1

Is there a design in the events of our lives? Or do things just happen, much like a junk yard falling down a staircase? If it’s the latter, how do you deal with it? Picture Quote #1

Never read bad stuff if you’re an artist; it will impair your own game. I don’t know if you ever played competitive tennis, but you learn not to watch bad tennis; it messes up your game. Art’s the same way Picture Quote #1

If there is any human tragedy, there is only one, and it occurs when we forget who we are and remain silent while a stranger takes up residence inside our skin Picture Quote #1
