About This Quote
A quote from the great artist and sculptor, Auguste Rodin. If you spent your life trying to be popular and failed, then you should just accept that you aren’t as good as those who are truly good at their craft. You can still have a wonderful career as an artist if you don’t try to please the world and instead, focus on making your work as good as it can be.
