"The best art and writing is almost like an assignment; it is so vibrant that you feel compelled to make something in response. Suddenly it is clear what you have to do. For a brief moment it seems wonderfully easy to live and love and create breathtaking things."

"Professionalism is way overrated. It is the spirit of the amateur that people in creative occupations-- in almost any occupation-- need to cultivate more than anything else. A couple of hundred years ago, "amateur" was an entirely positive, noble description of someone. The word comes from the Latin amator, which means "lover." An amateur undertaking was something you did out of love, for the pleasure of doing it-- something you did out of passion. And when you think about it this whole country was a nation created by passionate amateurs.

The American spirit is the amateur spirit."

-- Kurt Andersen, in "Ode to Amateurism"
