Elizabeth Gilbert
“I can only be in charge of producing the work itself. That’s a hard enough job. I refuse to take on additional jobs, such as trying to police what anybody thinks about my work once it leaves my desk.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Elizabeth Gilbert
“the clock is ticking, and the world is spinning, and we simply do not have time anymore to think so small.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Elizabeth Gilbert
“For the entirety of my young and skittish life, I had fixated upon my fear as if it were the most interesting thing about me, when actually it was the most mundane. In fact, my fear was probably the only 100 percent mundane thing about me. I had creativity within me that was original; I had a personality within me that was original; I had dreams and perspectives and aspirations within me that were original. But my fear was not original in the least. My fear wasn’t some kind of rare artisanal object; it was just a mass-produced item, available on the shelves of any generic box store. And that’s the thing I wanted to build my entire identity around? The most boring instinct I possessed? The panic reflex of my dumbest inner tadpole? No.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Hafez
“I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in darkness,

The Astonishing Light
Of your own Being!”
Hafez, The Divan

Elizabeth Gilbert
“At some point, you really just have to finish your work and release it as is-if only so you can go on and make other things with a glad and determined heart.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
