1 " No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity. "
― Julia Cameron , The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity
2 " Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness "
3 " The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. "
4 " Fame is not the same as success, and in our true souls we know that. "
5 " Serious art is born from serious play. "
6 " Timid young artists, adding parental fears to their own, often give up their sunny dreams of artistic careers, settling into the twilight world of could-have-beens and regrets. "
7 " Art is not about thinking something up. It is about the opposite—getting something down. "
8 " To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. "
9 " Working with the morning pages, we begin to sort through the differences between our real feelings, which are often secret, and our official feelings, those on the record for public display. "
10 " Creativity occurs in the moment, and in the moment we are timeless. "
11 " Pray to catch the bus, then run as fast as you can. "
12 " The reward for attention is always healing. "
13 " Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out. "
14 " Fame is a spiritual drug. It is often a by-product of our artistic work, but like nuclear waste, it can be a very dangerous by-product. "
15 " Listening to the siren song of more, we are deaf to the still small voice waiting in our soul to whisper, ‘You’re enough. "
16 " There is a path for each of us. When we are on our right path, we have a surefootedness. We know the next right action―Although not necessarily what is just around the bend. "
17 " Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent. "
18 " Why indeed must “God” be a noun? Why not a verb... the most active and dynamic of all? MARY DALY THEOLOGIAN "
19 " We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic. SUSAN JEFFERS "
