Quote of the Week, Schenck - 11/25/07

I often slack while writing this blog. Sometimes I'll post 3 times in 3 days, sometimes I'll post once in 3 weeks.

Basically, I only write when I have something to say.

In other words, “reliably prolific” might not be a good way to describe me.

In any event, to combat this and get at least something out every week, I'm going to start posting a "Quote of the Week" on Sunday nights. Some quotes may be recent. Some old. Some funny. Some serious. Some wonderful. Some cliché.

Some in between.

This first one was found in the CA Interactive Annual's advertising column, addressed to students of advertising.

I could have sworn the entire thing was written for my classmates and I. Particularly this paragraph.

“I know that no matter how monstrous your talent, no matter your adeptness with concepts, your adroitness with words, with pictures, with illustrations and type, with composition and light, plot and dialogue and Final Cut Pro, no matter how much you have learned from the Fenskes and the Helms and all the other creative masters who have gone before you, it will mean nothing—no, it will mean less than nothing—if you do not love this work with all its pain and glory.”
