Realized that this is the quote I think about the most: “Any fool can tell a crisis when it arrives. The real service to the state is to detect it in embryo.” ~Isaac Asimov, Foundation. What’s yours?
Not nearly so profound, but lately this one has been knocking around in my head: “If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose), someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all”- Stephen King
