"Art suffers the moment other people start paying for it. The more you need the money, the more people will tell you what to do. The less control you will have. The more BS you will have to swallow. The less joy it will bring. Know this and plan
accordingly."
- Hugh Macleod, How To Be Creative: 15. The most important thing a creative person can learn professionally is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy:

Eddy: Ed? Why is your helmet tied to your butt.
Ed: For protection.
Eddy: It's meant for your head.
Ed: It's my butt!

Ed: I am a brother and Eddy's brother is a brother and Eddy is a brother to Eddy's brother as a brother I am!
Double D: Umm... nicely put Ed!
Eddy: Oh brother...

I will post these up more later... And now, for some other quotes that have a meaning!

"The greatest test of courage on the earth is to bear defeat without losing heart."--R. G. Ingersoll

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?"--Vincent Van Gogh
