"If the eyes of a Rembrandt are upon her, she will rise in response and Rembrandt will draw what he sees and it will be beautiful." - Robert Henri

"What is a personal calling? It is God's blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend. However, we don't all have the courage to confront our own dreams. WHY? There are four obstacles. First: we are told from childhood onward that everything that we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea, and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fears and guilt. There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But it is still there." -Art & Fear, David Bayles & Ted Orland
