“it is a prison. And its bars are made of murderous hypocrisy”
Jessie Burton, The Miniaturist

“I have often heard the advice, “When you’re feeling bad, go out into the night and look at the stars.” Why it is so healing is a mystery, but it has something to do with remembering my actual position in it all. At a deeper level, knowing that we are made of the same elements grounds me; sensing that the same process forms us from those elements moves me to my core.”
Katherine Robertson-Pilling, The Wheel of Creativity: Taking Your Place in the Adventure of Life

“Doubt now riots against certainty—”

“Hard grind got us the glory, the saying goes—but sloth will slide us back into the sea. And these days, the rising waters feel so near.”
Jessie Burton, The Miniaturist

“Consciously or unconsciously, all human beings participate in this evolution. When we create anything—from a letter to a meal—we bring energy into form through the deconstruction and reconstruction of elements. The process begins even before we have the idea. With the realization that something is needed, we put ourselves in the gap between what is and what is not yet, between what is not yet and what is to be. We engage in the transformation of form into energy into form by expressing our own essence in the world.”
Katherine Robertson-Pilling, The Wheel of Creativity: Taking Your Place in the Adventure of Life
