Obscurity is a bigger problem for authors than piracy.

Tim O'Reilly

The problem for most artists isn't piracy, it's obscurity.

Tim O'Reilly

In the long run, with profits from piracy greater than international finance mobilised to solve the problem, we can expect piracy to increase geographically and in sophistication.

Peter Middlebrook

Most comics are not truly rebellious or creatively free. Most comics, paintings, music, etc., are derivative of other, more successful works. And it's quite often that those without much rebellious spirit are the ones to imitate it. Genuine radical expression is hard to come by, but it usually crops up when money is not a motivating factor. You can take all the liberties you want when someone else's dime is not at stake. The validation is not a threat to comics. A far greater threat to the creative freedom of artists working in any medium is self-consciousness and self-censorship.

Phoebe Gloeckner

A man who is morally clean, other things being equal, has in every instance, greater agility, greater capacity, and greater endurance by far than the man who is not. While the latter is wasting his creative energies in useless pleasures, as well as in disease producing habits, the former is turning all of his creative energy into ability and genius, and the result is evident.

Christian D. Larson

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

Bruce Lee

I firmly believe that the army of persons who urge greater and greater centralization of authority and greater and greater dependence upon the Federal Treasury are really more dangerous to our form of government than any external threat that can possibly be arrayed against us.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

The surveillance of ordinary people is far greater than I would have imagined and far greater than the American public has been able to debate.

Barton Gellman

I have gone from local obscurity to national obscurity to international obscurity. Once I learn how to monetize obscurity, I will be rich.

Ernie J Zelinski

The biggest problem almost all comics face is not piracy or demographics or any of that nonsense: it's obscurity.

Antony Johnston

Our liberties face a far greater threat from Hillary Clinton ... than from Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. I am not saying that for impact; I believe that to the core of my being.

Neal Boortz

There are dance artists, painting artists and writing artists. Authors are writing artists. You can practice art in whatever medium you choose, and words are mine.

Ursula K. Le Guin
