Emerson... again

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

RIP Harvey Pekar

There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy and a tragedy. – Mark Twain

"I'm trying to get every man involved in art, into experimental music, or painting, or novel-writing," he said.
What mattered most to Harvey Pekar was that people appreciate their own latent abilities, the power of the every day. Ordinary life, he liked to say, is pretty complex stuff.

Your mistakes are your style

When you're experimenting, you have to try so many things before you choose what you want, that you may go days getting nothing but exhaustion. And here is the reward for perseverance: The higher up you go, the more mistakes you are allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it's considered to be your style. - Fred Astaire

Do it Do it Do it!

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. – Greg Anderson

Dream Big

You see things; and you say 'Why?'; But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?'

-George Bernard Shaw

The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done - men who are creative, inventive and discoverers. – Jean Piaget

Friends (la la la la)

Create a small piece of paradise here on earth by loving and embracing each other and by loving and embracing the whole world. The cruelty, chaos and pain of daily living cannot dim your vision of everlasting, perfect love as you maintain your precious friendships. – Saint Aelred

Create your life

Sometimes you gotta create what you want to be a part of. – Geri Weitzman

 

That's so...... boring!

Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. - Sir Cecil Beaton

Thinking? Who needs that?

The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. - Albert Einstein

Don't think. Just do.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things. – Ray Bradbury

Life through the perspective of a headstand

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. – Edward de Bono

 "On the floor I am more at ease, I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around in it, work from the four sides and be literally in the painting." - Jackson Pollock

Art imitating life imitating art imitating...

If you want to work on your art, work on your life. — Anton Chekhov

 

 

Are those REALLY your words?

If you must write prose and poems

The words you use should be your own

Don't plagiarise or take "on loans"

There's always someone, somewhere

With a big nose, who knows

And who trips you up and laughs

When you fall

Who'll trip you up and laugh

When you fall – Cemetery Gates, The Smiths

Create Yo'Self

But, if you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself. – Carl Gustav Jung
