About this Quote

In this quote, Linus Torvalds, a Finnish-American software engineer and developer of the Linux operating system, is expressing his ideas on the financial element of being an artist. He specifies that artists generally do not make a significant amount of cash from their craft. Regardless of this, they continue to pursue their creative hobbies not because of the money, but rather in spite of it. This recommends that for many artists, their enthusiasm for developing and expressing themselves through their art is the driving force, rather than the capacity for financial gain. Torvalds' words highlight the dedication and love that artists have for their craft, despite the financial rewards.
