Best Uninspired Quotes
- “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” ~ John Lennon

- “I’m often wary of using the word ‘inspiration’ to introduce my work — it sounds too much like a sun shower from the heavens, absorbed by a passive individual enjoying an especially receptive moment.

I feel utterly uninspired and unreceptive. It’s the familiar malaise of ‘artist’s block’ and in such circumstances, there is only one thing to do: just start drawing.” ~ Shaun Tan , Feeling uninspired quotes

- “Oh my, I’ve just discovered what science shows us about our humble but spectacular place in the universe, and I have to say: it is thrilling and mind-boggling beyond all imaginings! It makes the Bible so puny and uninspired, and certainly less poetic, by comparison. I’m terribly sorry. I sincerely misunderstood so much.

But since there will be no cosmic punishment for me, I will spend what time I have left working in a family planning clinic in Latin America. Good day.” ~ Julia Sweeney

That’s when I decided to start my own line.” ~ Dayna Devon

When I am in a reactive state, I usually regret responding, because usually, all that happens is that the intimidator feels righteously vindicated.” ~ Tori Amos
