There is a journey that all must take regardless of its direction or apparent meaning. An artist plucks out their heart, holds it forth, and be it through agony or ecstasy, is prepared to be measured for the gift that is the highest honor, to create, and therein be judged on those merits alone. And, somewhere in the skein of all creation is that which demands of those whom would aspire to create beauty and wonder, no matter the cost, because creation, all of it, is worth every ounce the pain of its birth. From the novel, Diminished Fifth. Duane Hewitt
About This Quote

Some people have a great passion for art, and some do not. But, when it comes to an artist who is willing to put in the necessary work, every single detail in every picture they create is worth each and every second of their time. So, when they say that their art is worth the pain of creation, they are saying that the pain and sacrifice that goes into creating art is worth the end product. It's an important lesson because we often don't realize that what we do everyday can be a part of something great; we just don't know it yet.
