1 " Art has the ability to change minds. Passion is what changes the world. When both collide, it's as powerful as a bomb. Art isn't pretty and poised fluff. Art is brutal and snarling. Artists growl. This is the roar of change that beats within them. - 8/29/11 "
― A.H. Scott
2 " Grab your pen! Grab your sword! Eviscerate small minds with pinpoint force of mental might. Victory is in horizon's sight! "
3 " Death can come slow. Death can come quick. If you've got one last breath, you better make the most of it. "
4 " Today is a YES day. Say YES to stepping onto that plane, train, or climbing onto the back of a Harley. Say YES to adventure, which comes like a comet across the sky. Say YES to hoping all the signs are positive ahead. Say YES to being the person you've always wanted to be. Say YES to cleaning up your house. Say YES to trying on that smaller size dress. (and fitting in it - whoopee) Say YES to yourself for a change. Say YES, because NO is always at close range." - A.H. Scott 12/10/11 "
5 " Creativity is like a casino. Every time an artist takes to their calling, it's a gamble. Smiles can come. Sighs can come. Controversy can come. Expanding one's own vision can come in the blink of an eye or flicker of a voice. Artists are alchemists of sight, sound, touch and grabbing the balls of an audience. They mix sweet, sour, spice, joy, pain, pleasure and adversity in varied cauldrons. In the end, these men and women are the wizards of humanity's primal elixir. There is love. There is hate. There are scattered nerves splashed upon canvas, paper, screen, film. Jackpot is the reflection in our own souls." - A.H. Scott. 5/11/12 "
6 " When it seems you are having too much fun, then a switch turns on in your head and makes you think; if only there were a way to take a snapshot of this moment and place it into a mason jar next to some peach preserves. Or, you can just close your eyes and let the joy sink into your psyche. Each, in their own way will last a lifetime." - A.H. Scott 4/29/12 "
7 " Today, it may be THEM. Tomorrow it may be the OTHER. Just something to think about when thinking the finger of misfortune can't tap YOU on the shoulder" - A.H. Scott, January 29, 2017 "
8 " Never let a red line become the cage from which there is no escape. Constricting yourself in statements without any actions coming forth in the future in not engaging in compromise or negotiation will hang you on a tightrope by your own tongue. More talk, less squawk may just be the key to grace in unlocking a sense of mutual respect. Thumping a chest and making a threat from many a mile away from a situation is good for an ability to show off how well one can speak in broad tones. Yet, to sit down across from someone and speak to them as an equal, would go a lot further in balancing the plateau of respect shown. Maybe the red line will fly away and the need to always cling to it shall diminish with ears that truly listen to one another" - A.H. Scott 3/3/14 "
9 " It all begins between the ears. "
10 " Just when you think you've seen it all - see more. "
11 " Success is like a rose. Water it with the dew of preparation and watch it as it grows” – A.H. Scott 7/13/20 "
12 " To change yourself on behalf of another human being, is to truly evaporate the person that you are. You will become a shell of hollow smiles, vacant eyes and an arrested soul. Don't be the filling for someone else's cupcake. You be your own self. Be your own sweetness. Don't be the empty vessel that anybody that comes along in your life can use to change who you are. Of course, there is always room for improvement. But, we hold the hammer and chisel. And, not anyone else. Carve out the person you NEED to be. Not the person somebody may WANT you to be. In the end, you might just find that the angels above think you are swell enough, just as you are. - A.H. Scott 1/19/12#NYC #quotes #authenticity #happiness #character #self-love "
13 " MOTIVATE - FORWARD THINK“When you step up for yourself, that doesn’t mean you step on anyone else”. – A.H. Scott 1/13/17 #motivation #inspiration #quotes #possibility #dreams #faith #strive #motion "
14 " Writing is like the beating of a heart; it can be faint as a lazy Sunday afternoon just chillin', or throb with a crackling imagination as wide and varied as the Seven Wonders of The World. Words are the blood that pulses through our souls. "
15 " Confidence doesn't come easy. You have to focus on what you want and work every day to achieve it. I guess you build on it brick by brick. Maybe someday you'll be able to climb over that wall of self doubt completely and leap off into the brand new world of peacefulness. Until then, use the mortar of equality in how you treat others and yourself to construct a place your heart, mind, body & soul can embrace." - A.H. Scott6/15/12 "
16 " In the end....we are left with ourselves. "
― A.H. Scott , Sangre (Daughters Of The Rose Moon)
17 " To turn yourself inside out to impress another human being, you will become a stranger in your own skin. Twisting oneself into knots on behalf of someone else will do two things. It will make you a scattered soul ripped to shreds with stress. And, just make the other person hungry for pretzels. Strength is marrow born. Flip the script and let that opposing force choke on the crushing mound of their own disbelief. " - A.H. Scott4/8/16 "
18 " Some books are gaping tomes of blathering braggadocio, while others are cloistered pages beneath cashmere lined covers bathed in discretion. An exclusive list of readers who appreciate depth, will always be more respected than a diluted mass of lookie-loos that thrive upon mediocrity." - A.H. Scott 12/30/12 "
