Maya Lin Quotes

Maya Lin did 10 quotes in total. One of the quotes she wrote was "To fly, we have to have resistance." What it means is that she is talking about flying and to be able fly you need to have resistance that's what it means about this quote. This quote is very special it says "The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money,it was about teaching, or learning." It is special because it means that money doesn't always matter all it matters is what you do and what you become and what you are.
Here are the 10 quotes she did the two quotes I used are also there.

1. To fly we have to have resistance.
2. To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.
3. I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.
4. The definition of a modern approach to war is the acknowledgement of individual lives lost.
5. How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.
6. Some of your teachers are actually closer in age to you than you think.
7. The process I go through in the art and the architecture, I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical.
8. When I was very little, we would get letters from China, in Chinese, and they' be censored. We were a very insular little family.
9. The role of art in society differs for every artist.
10. The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.
