Quote

Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.

I can't tell you how many times I quit only to realize that when the work has been your life, you don't really have a life without it.

I have absolutely no desire and no thought of quitting ever.

Boredom always precedes a period of great creativity.

I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.

In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.

I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.
