I'm hoping someone can help. I need to find some short ( one to three sentance) quotes or sayings to inspire someone who needs a boost. She's having a tough time with depresion and anxiety, and needs some encouragement. Also I'm looking for a quote I once read that goes something like this: "an artist who sees things normally is no longer an artist". I know this isn't the right wording, but it's kinda close. I'd be grateful for any help
