Ring the bells that still can ring,

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything,

That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen, from Anthem

Thou shalt paint to please thyself.
Thou shalt be hard to please.
Robert Genn, from one of his biweekly letters (July, 2008)
Genn borrowed it from Stephen Vizinczey's "The Writer's Ten Commandments", changing "write" to "paint".
A word to the wise:
I'm not some delicate flower that needs to be protected from a bit of robust disagreement.

Work like you don’t need the money;


Love like you’ve never been hurt;


Dance like nobody’s watching.
