The artist's personality, built upon strong desires and compassionate vision, is by its nature prone to depression.

Because she favours solitude and indwelling, an artist can live a significantly more claustrophobic life that she had ever intended.

Your chances of creating deeply hinge on the quality of your awareness state.

An artist feels vulnerable to begin with; and yet the only answer is to recklessly discard more armour.

When you consciously decide to breathe more slowly and deeply, you alert your body to the fact that you want it to behave differently. You are not just changing your breathing pattern, you are making a full-body announcement that you are entering into a different relationship with your mind and your body.

A wild person with a calm mind can make anything.

Dream, but expect nothing. Desire, but expect nothing. Hope, but expect nothing. Release your need to control and gain real control.
