Great work often outlives the recognition given to whoever actually made it, a tension these quotes capture well. Our Wheelchair quotes explore a different kind of quiet perseverance.


Some creators chase recognition while others are content letting the work speak entirely on its own terms. For more on the creative process, see our Chris Hughes quotes, and for a founder's perspective on building something lasting, browse Brenda Brathwaite quotes.
