More quotes by Julia Cameron
When you are feeling too dull and too domesticated get on a horse, sit tall in the saddle, and for a moment live in a world that feels like risk and adventure.
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
We are ourselves creations. We are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves. This is the God-force extending itself through us. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using creativity is our gift back to God.
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
In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
Julia Cameron

Taking the time to write in our lives gives us the time of our lives. As we describe our environments, we begin to savor them. Even the most rushed and pell-mell life begins to take on the patina of being cherished.
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.
Julia Cameron
Art is born in attention.
Julia Cameron
Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse.
Julia Cameron
Often it is tenacity, not talent, that rules the day.
Julia Cameron
Writing just for the hell of it is heaven.
Julia Cameron
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.
Julia Cameron
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
Julia Cameron
