Quotes awaken, remind us and encourage in us what is really important in life.
Quotes:

• Are easy to remember
• Can express what we desire in a condensed way
• Put straight away in words, what is difficult for many to express
• Re-encourage us in difficult situation
• Ultimately can be a great motivator to change your life or follow your goals

Even the strongest, at some point in life needs some kind of inspiration to move forward.
A motivational quote should get your focus back, offering the inspiration needed for your circumstances.
You can use a quote to be an inspiration for the week, when the normal motivation has lapsed.
In this blog I will share my favorite quotes of artists, authors, scientists, philosophers and savants. Every quote is paired with one powerful illustration intended to serve as motivator, as a small retreat during frantic and stressful days. I’m calling this inspirational illustrations “quotivators” as they have the purpose to motivate you.
In the spirit of self-motivation, I’m starting with a quote of one of my top ultimate favorite artists Henri Matisse:
“Creativity takes courage”.
Creativity is the motor of human development and courage is just one step ahead of fear.
