“Practical affairs task the human brain throughout the day. At night, the mind takes a deserved hiatus to consider the impossible and the absurd. In the carnage of our nighttime sleep tussles, the colored liqueurs of the true, the possible, fantasy, and the mythic beliefs become intermixed. Eyelets of the commonsensical and the imaginative are incorporated, and a new realism emerges out of our distilled perception of the veridical derived from the phenomenal realm of sensory reality and the philosophic world of ideals contained in the noumenal realm. The resultant psychobiologic vision immerses us in bouts of intoxicating inspiration and artistic stimulation and leaves us rickety boned and weakened after enduring a dreaded hangover of perpetual doubt laced with vagueness and insecurity.” ArtArtistImaginationVisionCreativeImagineDreamsSelf DiscoveryAbsurdWritersCreative ProcessSelf KnowledgeDreams QuotesWriters On WritingWriting ProcessArtistsKnow ThyselfMemoir WritingImagination QuotesSelf DoubtSelf KnowingPersonal EssaysEssayistAbsurdismArtistic VisionJourney Of Self DiscoverySelf Knowledge QuotesArtistic InspirationEssay WritingNarrative WritingWriters VoiceSelf TruthMythicJourney Of The MindJourney Of BecomingJourney Of The SoulDream InspirationalCreativity ProcessArtistic Imagination Book:Dead Toad Scrolls Source: Dead Toad Scrolls
“In the case of an artist, weakness is nothing less than a crime, when it is a weakness that paralyses the imagination.” Artistic Imagination Book:De Profundis Source: De Profundis
