Struggling Quotes

Honest admissions from people who never claim the struggle is over.

These struggling quotes come from musicians and artists describing an ongoing effort rather than a finished victory, including one voice getting sober at 27 while still finding their footing. Others simply refuse the label, insisting what they do is just what they do. For the creative side of that struggle, see Artist quotes.
