Some quotes I like.

“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed.”
- Søren Kierkegaard

"I was always ashamed to take. So I gave. It was not a virtue. It was a disguise.”

"I think every artist needs a rule that's stupid but that helps them, like a deadline would."

“If you want to be consistent, start with a schedule that you can actually sustain. Even if you think it's stupid and not enough.”

“Don't sabotage your identity trying to name it. Let it be undefined, permeable, mixed, peculiar, unapologetically authentic. Be at peace with being unprecedented, with not fitting anywhere, with being adrift. Sometimes before flight, there's a free fall.”

- Samuel R. Delany
