What moves those of genius what inspires their work is not new ideas but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.

Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.

Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people but you can't be two people. Instead you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.

Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?

I shall endeavour still further to prosecute this inquiry an inquiry I trust not merely speculative but of sufficient moment to inspire the pleasing hope of its becoming essentially beneficial to mankind.

I like to think that if it hadn't gone as well as it has if I wasn't able to make a living off of playing music I would still be playing the music. But of course I wouldn't likely have had the opportunity to travel and a lot of the places have inspired songs.

When you're an artist there's always a moment in your life when you think you're not inspired and instead of doing things and instead of travel and instead of falling in love you're just depressed so you don't move so you don't change. So you're not inspired.

When I travel I love speaking to women around the world about the things that inspire them the fashions they like what makes something good and what would make it even better.

I see my path but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.

The time at our disposal each day is elastic the passions we feel dilate it those that inspire us shrink it and habit fills it.
