More quotes by Julia Cameron
The doing of something productive regardless of the outcome is an act of faith. The doing of a small something when a large something is too much for us is perhaps especially an act of faith. Faith means going forward by whatever means we can.
Julia Cameron
As we lose our vagueness about ourself, our values, our life situation, we become available to the moment. It is there, in the particular, that we contact the creative self. Art lies in the moment of encounter: we meet our truth and we meet ourselves we meet ourselves and we meet our self-expression .
Julia Cameron
Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out.
Julia Cameron
I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.

Julia Cameron
As you explore your inner world, your outer world will come more sharply into focus. As you face your imagined barriers, you will encounter real ones, as well.
Julia Cameron
Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what.
Julia Cameron
My heart holds the world in tender awe.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
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
Practice being kind to yourself in small, concrete ways. Look at your refrigerator. Are you feeding yourself nicely? Do you have socdks? An extra set of sheets? What about a new house plant? A thermos for the long drive to work? Allow yourself to pitch out some of your ragged clothes. You don't have to keep everything.
