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
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
I am a gate for God to accomplish great things. Through me and with me, new Life enters the world.
Julia Cameron
When we walk, the two halves of our brains converse.
Julia Cameron
Money cannot fill an empty soul.
Julia Cameron
Rather than being taught to ask ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained to listen to others’ versions of ourselves.
Julia Cameron
All too often, it is audacity and not talent that moves an artist to center stage.
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
We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.
Julia Cameron
Any little bit of experimenting in self-nurturance is very frightening for most of us.
Julia Cameron
Did you write today? Then you're a writer today.
Julia Cameron
I bless the wisdom of my loving heart. Love is a form of listening. I listen with a loving heart. I listen to the love within my heart and I hear the love in the hearts of others.
Julia Cameron
Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse.
Julia Cameron
I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is a block, not a building block.
Julia Cameron
Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage.
Julia Cameron
Do not call procrastination laziness. Call it fear.
Julia Cameron
Leap, and the net appears.
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
Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
Julia Cameron
