Have Pity (Quote)

Lord, have pity on those who are fearful of taking up pen, or a paintbrush, or an instrument or a tool because they are afraid that someone has already done so better than they could, and who feel themselves to be unworthy to enter the marvelous mansion of art. But have more pity on those who having taken up the pen, a paintbrush, or an instrument or a tool, have turned inspiration into a paltry thing, and yet feel themselves to be better than others. Neither of these kinds of people know thy law that says, “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.” –The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho
