The best art always comes unbidden.

About This Quote

The best art always comes unbidden. This quote by Judith Viorst is a reminder that we often confuse the work we do as artists with what we do as human beings. The two are not necessarily the same, and it’s not up to us to tell the difference. The artist is just trying to be true to herself.

She can’t help but create art, but she doesn’t have to feel bad about it. It just happens.
