More quotes by 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.
Julia Cameron
Creativity occurs in the moment, and in the moment we are timeless.
Julia Cameron
It is not the act of making art that is painful. It is the desire to make something and not acting on it that causes pain....A day when I don't write is less happy. This is not discipline. It is affection, enthusiasm, adventure-any number of other words besides discipline.
Julia Cameron
Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
Making art has taught me that the tiniest smidgen of progress is something to be cherished.
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
In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
Julia Cameron
When we walk, the two halves of our brains converse.
Julia Cameron
Agendas tend to drain the life out of relationships.
Julia Cameron
The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
Julia Cameron
Serious art is born from serious play.
