More quotes by Julia Cameron
Making art has taught me that the tiniest smidgen of progress is something to be cherished.
Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
Julia Cameron
We are ourselves creations. We are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves. This is the God-force extending itself through us. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using creativity is our gift back to God.
Julia Cameron
We are the ORIGIN of our art, its homeland. Viewed this way, ORIGINALITY is the process of remaining true to ourselves.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
Love is not love if it is compelled by reason and driven by logic - love exists in spite of those things, not because of them. It is a emotion which needs no fuel to fire it or oxygen to feed it if you have to look for the why, then stop looking it was never there at all.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
I am due at the page.
Julia Cameron
People frequently believe the creative life is grounded in fantasy. The more difficult truth is that creativity is grounded in reality, in the particular, the focused, the well observed or specifically imagined.
Julia Cameron
When you are feeling too dull and too domesticated get on a horse, sit tall in the saddle, and for a moment live in a world that feels like risk and adventure.
Julia Cameron
Most artists, ashamed of their need for encouragement, try to carry their work to term like a secret pregnancy.
Julia Cameron
I believe that what we want to write wants to be written. I believe that as I have an impulse to create, the something I want to create has an impulse to want to be born. My job, then, is to show up on the page and let that something move through me, in a sense, what wants to be written is none of my business.
Julia Cameron
Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is, and the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.
Julia Cameron
Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.
Julia Cameron
Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.
Julia Cameron
There will be many times when we won't look good-to ourselves or anyone else. We need to stop demanding that we do. It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.
Julia Cameron
There is not one pink flower, or even fifty pink flowers, but hundreds. Snowflakes, of course, are the ultimate exercise in sheer creative glee. No two alike. This creator looks suspiciously like someone who just might send us support for our creative ventures.
