More quotes by 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
The beginner's humility and openness lead to exploration. Exploration leads to accomplishment. All of it begins at the beginning, with the first small and scary step.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is an addiction, and like all addictions, it blocks creative energy.
Julia Cameron
We go into parenting, and we discover that we don't have the answers. We are at a loss.
Julia Cameron
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.
Julia Cameron
Love is the greatest medicine. I ask to be healing medicine for others. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and to love others as they wish to be loved. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and open to my being loved as I wish to be loved.
Julia Cameron
We are not accustomed to thinking that God's will for us and our own inner dreams can coincide.
Julia Cameron
And [now] I think I’ll probably write a lot about birds. My new house has a deck that wraps around my writing room my writing room has many windows, and outside the windows I’ve hung bird feeders … for enticing different species. So I imagine I will be writing about that.
