“Never overtly show all men the contempt which they deserve, for one can never know when one may need them.”
― Ludwig van Beethoven

“In nature, some seeds lie dormant in anticipation of the season most conducive to their growth. This is true of art as well. There are ideas whose time has not yet come. Or perhaps their time has come, but you are not yet ready to engage with them. Other times, developing a different seed may shed light on a dormant one.”
― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

“There’s an abundant reservoir of high-quality information in our subconscious, and finding ways to access it can spark new material to draw from.”
― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

“How do we pick up on a signal that can neither be heard nor be defined? The answer is not to look for it. Nor do we attempt to predict or analyze our way into it. Instead, we create an open space that allows it. A space so free of the normal overpacked condition of our minds that it functions as a vacuum. Drawing down the ideas that the universe is making available.”
― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
