“<> A hazelnut. A filbert. October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!”
― Rainbow Rowell, Attachments

“We watch together as the sky continues to transform every few seconds, an unreal canvas changing constantly in front of us. It makes me feel like a little girl again, and instead of imagining a castle in the sky, I’m living in it; truly the only thing we can see all around us is this dramatic, painted sky.”
― Christina Lauren, The Unhoneymooners

“Whether story-like or absurd, whether obviously relevant or not, dreams remind artists that, even when they feel blocked, the ability to create fictional worlds still resides within them.”
― Alice Robb, Why We Dream: The Transformative Power of Our Nightly Journey

“Exceptionally creative people may be naturally prone to vivid dreaming; high dream recall is correlated with habits and personality traits often shared by artists, such as “openness to experience,” “tolerance of ambiguity,” an inclination toward fantasy, and a tendency to daydream. People who remember their dreams every night tend to have an easier time of losing themselves in projects and are likelier to agree with statements like “I am full of ideas” and “I am interested in abstractions.”
