Adriana Trigiani Art Quotations

There's nothing an artist needs more - even more than excellent tools and stamina - than a deadline.

I used to believe my art had to be about the things that brought me joy and gave me hope. But I learned that art can be found in all of life, even in pain.

Sometimes we get our hearts broken, only to have the right person come along to mend them.

Our faces will become works of art that our grandchildren will treasure.

Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.

Anything you ever make that matters takes a long time. Some artists never see their work in front of an audience, so for them 15 years is a blink of an eye. I am nothing but grateful.

No one worries about you like your mother, and when she is gone, the world seems unsafe, things that happen unwieldy. You cannot turn to her anymore, and it changes your life forever. There is no one on earth who knew you from the day you were born; who knew why you cried, or when you'd had enough food; who knew exactly what to say when you were hurting; and who encouraged you to grow a good heart. When that layer goes, whatever is left of your childhood goes with her.
