Things only have the value and importance we give them. This is as true of works of art as it is of knowledge or love or money.

The person who knows how to enjoy their own company knows the most important thing.

When you think about something you give it an importance it doesn't have.

There is no important work.

Creativity is overrated. Happiness is far more important.

I see no reason to consider an artist's work any more valuable or important than any other kind of work.

No work is so important you have to do it.

Success isn't important. What's important is that one is happy and doing things one enjoys.

The importance of sex is that it's one of the few ways people allow themselves to feel fully alive.
