"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exsist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is; nor how valuable it is; nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep is yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep directly open to and aware of the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction at any time. There is only queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than others.
- Martha Graham

Martha Graham was an amazing Dancer but this quote really exsists in all forms of art, and even for people just dabbeling with creativity. It just made me happy to read it.
