The Necessity Of Action
Pablo Picasso
Conversations with Picasso (c. 1930s)
“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.
People wait for the lightning bolt to strike. They wait for the perfect mood.
But art is not a divine accident. It is a manual labor.
You must start drawing the line before you know where it goes. The action itself creates the idea.
Action is the foundational key to all success.
If you only work when you feel like it, you will never build anything of substance.
You must force the muse to show up.”
- Pablo Picasso, Conversations with Picasso (c. 1930s)
