Effort and result are never simultaneous. In art, only the result counts.

Unless the work of art has wholly exhausted its maker's attention, it fails. This is why works of great significance are demanding and why they are infinitely rewarding.
When you are an artist, you want your audience to think it's effortless and easy.
Art depends on luck and talent.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
It's not that the creative act and the critical act are simultaneous. It's more like you blurt something out and then analyze it.
The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic.
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
Success is dependent on effort.
