About This Quote
Women are often the source of inspiration for artists, musicians, actors, and other creative people. However, women can also prove to be a hindrance to our artistic endeavors. When an artist is inspired by his muse, it is usually because of her beauty or talent. However, women can also cause us to feel unworthy of pursuing our dreams. The fact that women were once thought to be the bestower of inspiration has led to the idea that it is impossible for them to be satisfied with anything less than perfection.
