Quote of the Day

We're all terrified of being revealed as amateurs, but in fact, today it is the amateur -- the enthusiast who pursues her work in the spirit of love (in French, the word means "lover"), regardless of the potential for fame, money, or career -- who often has the advantage over the professional.  Because they have little to lose, amateurs are willing to try anything and share the results.

-- Austin Kleon, Show Your Work!, p. 15
