Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Every artist was first an amateur."

Why This Quote Matters

Every word in this quote is doing work. Notice "amateur" in particular. That is the hinge the whole thing turns on.

If it connected with you, send it to one person who would understand why. Good words travel better when they are shared with intention.

Not every quote is meant for every person at every moment. If this one landed, it landed for a reason.
