Art is an articulator of the soul's uncensored purpose and deepest will.

It, (creativity) requires an inclination to step into the unknown, as well as the ability to persist when there is no end in sight.

Creativity is a force moving through us, and only through practice do we learn how to cooperate with it. The 'process' is like a muscle. It needs to be exercised in order to function effortlessly.

Creative expression requires an ability to work with feelings and channel them. Frustration, dissatisfaction, and even a sense of desperation may help you access an eloquence you never knew existed.

Imaginative compassion for that which is other than myself is a constant artistic and ethical discipline.

Creative freedom is determined by how we behold the world. Any one of us can make new things with our perceptions that serve as doorways to the creative imagination. No one is excluded.

We can only learn about creativity through our own experience of it.

A person's license to create is irrevocable, and it opens to every corner of daily life. But it is always hard to see that doubt, fear, and indirectness are eternal aspects of the creative path.
