"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
Henry Ward Beecher
This quote is not about fine art. It is about the art of creating. It doesn't matter if you are painting a painting, raising a child, or building an antique car - you put a part of yourself into your work when you are creative. I really like this quote because it kind of goes along with my definition - where you make part of yourself eternal.
"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things." ~ Ray Bradbury
I love this quote because it's all about flow. When I am in flow, I'm not thinking. I've tried to explain it, define it, heck, even remember it clearly. It is a state of mind where you create without thinking - there is no criticism, no worries what others may think.
