“Almost nothing beautiful or brilliant happens unless a person has thought about it a lot.”
Eric Maisel

“If you wait for a better time to create, better than this very moment, if you wait until you feel settled, divinely inspired, perfectly centered, unburdened of your usual worries, or free of your own skin, forget about it. You will still be waiting tomorrow and the next day, wondering why you never managed to begin, wondering”
Eric Maisel, Coaching the Artist Within: Advice for Writers, Actors, Visual Artists, and Musicians from America's Foremost Creativity Coach

“The song you write may be beautiful, the research you conceive may be beautiful, but you are the real beauty in life.”
Eric Maisel, The Van Gogh Blues: The Creative Person's Path Through Depression
