Eric Maisel
Image
Settle into mystery as you would settle into your most comfortable chair. Listen. Have visions. Lose yourself.
Eric Maisel
Image
One visit with a child can supply us with enough creativity dust to last for a lifetime... Visit with children like you're the child you ought to be more often.
Eric Maisel
Image
By 'expecting nothing' you are not 'giving up.' Far from it! You are making a decision to focus on what needs to be done rather than on outcomes.
Eric Maisel
Image
The artist who pictures sounds as colours, who feels the difference in microns between one sea green and another... is not attending to what the world considers important.
Eric Maisel
Image
As the artist matures she is continuously shaken by what she manages to discover: by the earth shifting beneath her feet once again, by her own amazed, ringing laughter.
Eric Maisel
Image
Let each of us dream of a community of artists and work to make that dream a reality.
Eric Maisel
Image
Whatever pain and suffering you've experienced in your life has been a blessing at least in this one regard: you now know some true things that you couldn't have learned any other way.
