​Gems from “The Creative Act”

Audio books can be a hit or miss for me, but this one is beautiful narrated and captivating to listen, not to mention it’s filled with wisdom and insights. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:
It’s better to follow the universe than those around you.

Impatience is an argument with reality - the desire for something to be different from what we’re experiencing in the here and now.

As soon as you use a label to describe what you’re working on, there’s a temptation to conform to its rules.

Any preconceived and accepted conventions limit what’s possible.

Taking a wrong turn allows you to see landscapes you otherwise have seen.

Best art divides the audience.
