“No life is ordinary. No life is without hope, without light, even during the unimaginable.”
Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

Rick Rubin
“All art is a work in progress. It’s helpful to see the piece we’re working on as an experiment. One in which we can’t predict the outcome. Whatever the result, we will receive useful information that will benefit the next experiment. If you start from the position that there is no right or wrong, no good or bad, and creativity is just free play with no rules, it’s easier to submerge yourself joyfully in the process of making things. We’re not playing to win, we’re playing to play. And ultimately, playing is fun. Perfectionism gets in the way of fun. A more skillful goal might be to find comfort in the process. To make and put out successive works with ease.”
Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

“As artists, we seek to restore our childlike perception: a more innocent state of wonder and appreciation not tethered to utility or survival.”
Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

Rick Rubin
“Oscar Wilde said that some things are too important to be taken seriously. Art is one of those things. Setting the bar low, especially to get started, frees you to play, explore, and test without attachment to results.”
Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

“Look for what you notice but no one else sees.”
Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
