More quotes by Julia Cameron
I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
Julia Cameron
Agendas tend to drain the life out of relationships.
Julia Cameron
Rather than being taught to ask ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained to listen to others’ versions of ourselves.
Julia Cameron
An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known. This makes life lovely and lively.
Julia Cameron
As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
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
At root, a pearl is a 'disturbance' a beauty caused by something that isn't supposed to be there, about which something needs to be done. It is the interruption of equilibrium that creates beauty. Beauty is a response to provocation, to intrusion. ... The pearl's beauty is made as a result of insult.
Julia Cameron
We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.
Julia Cameron
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
Julia Cameron
You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.
Julia Cameron
Artists love other artists. Shadow artists are gravitating to their rightful tribe but cannot yet claim their birthright. Very often audacity, not talent, makes one person an artist and another a shadow artist-hiding in the shadows, afraid to step out and expose the dream to the light, fearful that it will disintegrate to the touch.
Julia Cameron
In recovering from our creative blocks, it is necessary to go gently and slowly... These are baby steps. Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves.
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
We have this idea that we need to be in the mood to write. We don't.
Julia Cameron
Art is born in attention.
Julia Cameron
Any little bit of experimenting in self-nurturance is very frightening for most of us.
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
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
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.
