Julia Cameron, author of "The Artists Way"



"Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness. "

"I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow."

"Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise."

"Life is a creative endeavor. It is active, not passive. We are the yeast that leavens our lives into rich, fully baked loaves. When we experience our lives as flat and lackluster, it is our consciousness that is at fault. We hold the inner key that turns our lives from thankless to fruitful. That key is "Blessing.'"

"Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again."

"The creative process is a process of surrender, not control."

"Love is the substance of all life. Everything is connected in love, absolutely everything."
