The very best artists don’t just entertain and bring pleasure with their work, they also embolden people.
They fire up a creative spirit in others. They inspire people to speak in a less homogenised voice. They lead people by showing it’s possible to step outside their cautious selves and reach into the ether.
A great artist is a risk taker. They step out from the herd so that others feel less scared doing so.

“Emotional hurt is the price a person has to pay in order to be independent.” – Haruki Murakami
