More quotes by Julia Cameron
Here's what I like about God: Trees are crooked, mountains are lumpy, a lot of his creatures are funny looking, and he made it all anyway. He didn't let the aardvark convince him he had no business designing creatures. He didn't make a puffer fish and get discouraged, no, the maker made things - and still does.

Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.
Julia Cameron
We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.

Writing is like listening to a melody line in my head. Note by note, it knows where it wants to go. I follow it and lay it down. I can pare it, shape it, and polish it later...My job is to take down the dribs and drabs - to free-associate, if you will, knowing that the associations have their own plans for where we're going with all this.
Julia Cameron
If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.
Julia Cameron
It hurts like hell when the world won't invest in you. But it's excruciating, almost more than you can bear, when you don't believe and invest in yourself.

Money cannot fill an empty soul.
Julia Cameron
We need to bridge our sense of loneliness and disconnection with a sense of community and continuity even if we must manufacture it from our time on the Web and our use of calling cards to connect long distance. We must “log on” somewhere, and if it is only in cyberspace, that is still far better than nowhere at all. (264)
Julia Cameron
I believe that the dark night of the soul is a common spiritual experience. I believe, too, that the answer is continued seeking and perseverance. It helps to know that others have endured a loss of faith.
Julia Cameron
... success or failure, the truth of a life really has little to do with its quality. The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.
Julia Cameron
Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.
Julia Cameron
Enthusiasm is not an emotional state. It is a spiritual commitment, a loving surrender to our creative process. Enthusiasm - from the Greek, filled with God - is an ongoing energy supply tapped into the flow of life itself.
Julia Cameron
Adversity is a misperception as all works toward the good.
Julia Cameron
Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage.
Julia Cameron
Do not call procrastination laziness. Call it fear.
Julia Cameron
All change can be expansive in potential. The choice is ours.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.
Julia Cameron
When it was suggested that I write a memoir I said, 'I'm not old enough. I'm not distinguished enough.' But I went home and sat down to write, and the material for the book just came flooding into my hands.
Julia Cameron
It is the use of creativity which heals the creative wound.
