Creative Living Quotes

“I have never created anything in my life that did not make me feel, at some point or another, like I was the guy who just walked into a fancy ball wearing a homemade lobster costume. But you must stubbornly walk into that room, regardless, and you must hold your head high. You made it; you get to put it out there. Never apologize for it, never explain it away, never be ashamed of it. You did your best with what you knew, and you worked with what you had, in the time that you were given. You were invited, and you showed up, and you simply cannot do more that that. They might throw you out - but then again, they might not. They probably won't throw you out, actually. The ballroom is often more welcoming and supportive than you could ever imagine. Somebody might even think you're brilliant and marvelous. You might end up dancing with royalty. Or you might just end up having to dance alone in the corner of the castle with your big, ungainly red foam claws waving in the empty air. that's fine, too. Sometimes it's like that. What you absolutely must not do is turn around and walk out. Otherwise, you will miss the party, and that would be a pity, because - please believe me - we did not come all this great distance, and make all this great effort, only to miss the party at the last moment.”

“In the vast spectrum of space-time’s coeternal continuum, I am but a glint of bundled energy held together by the translucent fiber of creative consciousness. The misty dew of private thoughts that inhabit my streaky underworld briefly forms a splintery part of the glittering arena of the cosmos. In the ether-like dawn of my awakening, my minuscule arch appears intravenously injected amid the dark matter of the nightscape. Reminiscent of the morning’s dew, my comet’s tailed reflection disintegrates and dissipates without a lasting trace in the dawn of a new age. I shall never wholly cease to exist, since my filtrate potentiality – a trace of my essence – remains suspended forevermore in celestial wonderment.”

“this is why art, my creative process, is so important for me + my growth. it asks of me to be willing. am I willing to sit with the hurt. the healed. the loud. the quiet. the yet to be spoken. and let their stories rise up out of me for others to see and read and digest. and form an experience of? it is such a push + pull feeling owning a heart that wants to break open and close off simultaneously. the goosebumps. the tingling. the ache to run. only confirm what a holy act of courage it is when we birth our art into the world. when we risk comfort we open up the doorway to invite really good things into our lives. we begin by being willing.”

“Everybody has a choice. It is OK to have children or not. It is OK to get married or stay single. It is OK to divorce or stay married for many years. It is OK to raise your children as a single parent or in a relationship. No expectations! No judgment! No obligations! Every one of us has the right to decide how to live our lives. Every one of us creates experiences we want in our lives. Free choices. Free will. That is all we have, and it was given to us.”
