Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You Quotes

“As we can learn from every man or woman or child around us when, touched and moved, they tell of something they loved or hated this day, yesterday, or some other day long past. At a given moment, the fuse, after sputtering wetly, flares, and the fireworks begin. Oh, it's limping crude hard work for many, with language in their way. But I have heard farmers tell about their very first wheat crop on their first farm after moving from another state, and if it wasn't Robert Frost talking, it was his cousin, five times removed. I have heard locomotive engineers talk about America in the tones of Thomas Wolfe who rode our country with his style as they ride it in their steel. I have heard mothers tell of the long nights with their firstborn when they were afraid that they and the baby might die. And I have heard my grandmother speak of her first ball when she was seventeen. And they were all, when their souls grew warm, poets.”

“Você tem uma lista de escritores favoritos, eu tenho a minha: Dickens, Twain, Wolfe, Peacock, Shaw, Molière, Jonson, Wycherly, Sam Johnson. Poetas: Gerard Manley Hopkins, Dylan Thomas, Pope. Pintores: El Greco, Tintoretto. Músicos: Mozart, Haydn, Ravel, Johann Strauss (!). Pense em todos esses nomes e você vai pensar em entusiasmos, apetites, fomes, grandes ou pequenas, mas de qualquer forma, importantes. Pense em Shakespeare e Melville e você vai pensar em trovão, raio, vento. Todos sabiam da alegria de criar em formatos grandes ou pequenos, em telas ilimitadas ou restritas. Esses são os filhos dos deuses. Souberam se divertir em seu trabalho. Não importa se a criação foi difícil aqui e ali, ao longo do caminho, ou se doenças e tragédias acometeram sua vida mais íntima. As coisas importantes são aquelas que nos foram transmitidas por suas mãos e mentes, e essas coisas estão cheias até a tampa de vigor animal e vitalidade intelectual. Seus ódios e desesperos foram relatados com uma espécie de amor.”
