Remember: It costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential benefits are staggering. A pat on the back to an artist now could one day result in your favorite film, or the cartoon you love to get stoned watching, or the song that saves your life. Discourage an artist, you get absolutely nothing in return, ever. Kevin Smith
About This Quote

I think this quote sums up to be true. You might not know or have been able to see the great work of an artist but when you encourage them, they would make their work better. In one way, it could even be a bad thing because if you discourage them, they might not continue their work because you discourage them.
