More quotes by Julia Cameron
The creator made us creative. Our creativity is our gift from God. Our use of it is our gift to God. Accepting this bargain is the beginning of true self-acceptance.
Julia Cameron
The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist.
Julia Cameron
Leap, and the net appears.
Julia Cameron
Art is born in attention.
Julia Cameron
Our modern ideas of 'functioning' through things are really quite inhuman. We have this idea that no matter what is going on we still have to color between the lines, act normal.
Julia Cameron
In our human lives, we are often impatient, ill-tempered, inappropriate. We find it difficult to treat our intimates with the love we really hold for them. Despite this, they bear with us because of the larger, higher level of family that they honor even in our outbursts. This is their commitment.
Julia Cameron
I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
Julia Cameron
We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.
Julia Cameron
It is all too easy as an artist to allow the shape of our career to be dictated to us by others. We can so easily wait to be chosen. Such passivity invites despair. To remain healthy and vital, artists must stay proactive in their own behalf.
Julia Cameron
But do you know how old I will be by the time I learn to really play the piano / act / paint / write a decent play? Yes . . . the same age you will be if you don't.
Julia Cameron
We go into parenting, and we discover that we don't have the answers. We are at a loss.
Julia Cameron
Sometimes, in order to go forward, You must first go back.
Julia Cameron
You do not need to work to become spiritual. You are spiritual you need only to remember that fact. Spirit is within you. God is within you. (67)
Julia Cameron
Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.
Julia Cameron
All too often, it is audacity and not talent that moves an artist to center stage.
Julia Cameron
We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook - if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for being available to what is trying to bubble up today.
Julia Cameron
At it's essence, art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.
Julia Cameron
All of us contain a divine, expressive spark, a creative candle intended to light our path and that of our fellows.
Julia Cameron
when I talk about a writing life, I'm talking about a life in which writing is the dominant response to living.
