But an artist, he realized. Or rather so-called artist. Bohemian. That's closer to it. The artistic life without the talent.

Philip K. Dick
About This Quote

An artist is someone who creates art. An artist can be anyone, but it takes great talent to become one. Some people say that all you need to be an artist is love of the arts, but that’s not always the case. You may have natural talent, but it takes dedication and hard work to become an artist.
