More quotes by 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
Making art is an act of faith.
Julia Cameron
For today, all you need is the grace to begin beginning.
Julia Cameron
When you feel yourself to be in critical condition, you must treat yourself as gently as you would a sick friend.
Julia Cameron
When we let God be God and work through us, we experience both a sense of serenity and excitement.
Julia Cameron
People frequently believe the creative life is grounded in fantasy. The more difficult truth is that creativity is grounded in reality, in the particular, the focused, the well observed or specifically imagined.
Julia Cameron
There will be many times when we won't look good-to ourselves or anyone else. We need to stop demanding that we do. It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.
Julia Cameron
You do not need to work to become spiritual. You are spiritual you need only to remember that fact. Spirit is within you. God is within you. (67)
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is an addiction, and like all addictions, it blocks creative energy.
Julia Cameron
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
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
Practice being kind to yourself in small, concrete ways. Look at your refrigerator. Are you feeding yourself nicely? Do you have socdks? An extra set of sheets? What about a new house plant? A thermos for the long drive to work? Allow yourself to pitch out some of your ragged clothes. You don't have to keep everything.
Julia Cameron
We need to bridge our sense of loneliness and disconnection with a sense of community and continuity even if we must manufacture it from our time on the Web and our use of calling cards to connect long distance. We must “log on” somewhere, and if it is only in cyberspace, that is still far better than nowhere at all. (264)
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
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
As a writer, I find holidays often disturbing, not liberating, in their disruption of tempo, their open-ended time.
Julia Cameron
We tend to think being hard on ourselves will make us strong. But it is cherishing ourselves that gives us strength
Julia Cameron
There is not one pink flower, or even fifty pink flowers, but hundreds. Snowflakes, of course, are the ultimate exercise in sheer creative glee. No two alike. This creator looks suspiciously like someone who just might send us support for our creative ventures.
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 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.
