More quotes by Julia Cameron
Often it is tenacity, not talent, that rules the day.
Julia Cameron
Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.
Julia Cameron
In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.
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
We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.
Julia Cameron
In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
Julia Cameron
Art is born in attention.
Julia Cameron
I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
Julia Cameron
Adversity is a misperception as all works toward the good.
Julia Cameron
The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist. The need to produce a great work of art makes it hard to produce any art at all. . . Fear is what blocks an artist. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of not finishing. The fear of failure and of success. The fear of beginning at all.
Julia Cameron
Agendas tend to drain the life out of relationships.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is our true nature blocks are an unnatural thwarting of a process at once as normal and as miraculous as the blossoming of a flower at the end of a slender green stem.
Julia Cameron
When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.
Julia Cameron
No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.
Julia Cameron
It is the use of creativity which heals the creative wound.
Julia Cameron
It is important to remember that at first blush, going sane feels just like going crazy.
Julia Cameron
You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club.
Julia Cameron
Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out.
Julia Cameron
Most artists, ashamed of their need for encouragement, try to carry their work to term like a secret pregnancy.
Julia Cameron
Fatigue can make it hard to have faith. Too much busyness can make it hard to have faith. Too much of too little solitude can impact faith. For that matter, so can a bout of hunger or overwork, anything carried to an extreme. Faith thrives on routine. Look at any monastery and you will see that. Faith keeps on keeping on.
