📣 Curious Quotes from the Author
“Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.”
“Be the weirdo who dares to enjoy.”
“You can measure your worth by your dedication to your path, not by your successes or failures.”
“Recognizing that people's reactions don't belong to you is the only sane way to create. If people enjoy what you've created, terrific. If people ignore what you've created, too bad. If people misunderstand what you've created, don't sweat it. And what if people absolutely hate what you've created? What if people attack you with savage vitriol, and insult your intelligence, and malign your motives, and drag your good name through the mud? Just smile sweetly and suggest - as politely as you possibly can - that they go make their own fucking art. Then stubbornly continue making yours.”
“A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner—continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you—is a fine art, in and of itself.”
“Done is better than good.”
“So this, I believe, is the central question upon which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?”
“It seems to me that the less I fight my fear, the less it fights back. If I can relax, fear relaxes, too.”
“Anyhow, the older I get, the less impressed I become with originality. These days, I’m far more moved by authenticity. Attempts at originality can often feel forced and precious, but authenticity has quiet resonance that never fails to stir me.”
“You're not required to save the world with your creativity. Your art not only doesn't have to be original, in other words, it also doesn't have to be important. For example, whenever anyone tells me that they want to write a book in order to help other people I always think 'Oh, please don't. Please don't try to help me.' I mean it's very kind of you to help people, but please don't make it your sole creative motive because we will feel the weight of your heavy intention, and it will put a strain upon our souls.”
📚 Cognition of the Book’s Big Idea
It is never too late to begin producing art. You can allow yourself the freedom to pursue the artistic endeavors you've always desired by learning to live with your fears and letting go of what other people think of you. Making art has never been simpler if you live with curiosity and avoid taking anything too seriously. Get dressed like you're writing a novel.
The next time you find yourself idly staring at a blank page, stand up from your desk and make your way to your closet. Choose a gorgeous ensemble, take a hot shower, style your hair, clean your teeth, put on your clothes, and apply cologne or perfume. Although it may sound absurd, you can stimulate your creativity and clear your thoughts by rejuvenating your body. Give it a go!
