Julia Cameron
Do not call procrastination laziness. Call it fear.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is an addiction, and like all addictions, it blocks creative energy.
Julia Cameron
The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
Julia Cameron
If you are too busy to develop your talents, you are too busy.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.
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
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.
