Even though her strong prana heals it at the same rate, constant damage and regeneration is happening inside her. And much of her energy gets drained in cell-building, in self-healing.”
― Misba, The Oldest Dance

“What you write down becomes fixed. It takes on the constraints of any tangible entity. It collapses into a reality estranged from the realm of its creation. It's a marker. A roadsign. You have stopped to get your bearings, but at a price. You'll never know where it might have gone if you'd left it alone to go there.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Passenger

“In one creative thought a thousand forgotten nights of love revive, filling it with sublimity and exaltation.”

“In essence we are pure desire. That desire is an expression of a moment and that moment becomes a series of moments we call life.

Suspended on the hands of an evanescent ticking. Pending on the beat of a vein woven drum. Fragile and fleeting. Ever mysterious and expanding.

My outer life was full. My inner life was like rampant Boston ivy and aspects of my soul were more akin to cities than archetypes.

Deluged with words and pulses, in poetry I am but the result of all those who came before me. I represent more than I am able to comprehend.

My expression is the result of all those who slain me and all those who heal me. Thank you differently and the same, for the hues of my emotional palette only deepened and multiplied like the cells of some thousand galaxies.

Pent, it was time for my expression to vent.”
― Nicole Bonomi

― Debashis Chatterjee, The Other 99%: You Can Dare To Lead

“Visualization shapes art.
Visualization turns abstract dreams into a reality.”

“We spend most of our conscious waking day with our attention on the external environment and functioning in Beta [brain wave state]. [...]

[Fast Beta-wave states are the realm of the conscious mind].
Slow brain-wave states are the realm of the subconscious. [...]

[For example, slower] Alpha waves are created in the creative, imaginative state. [...]

[When your brain is in high Beta it] isn’t in creative mode [nor meditative, nor inspiration mode, nor receptive more]; it’s fixated on survival. [...]

The brain in high Beta can’t easily shift gears into the imaginary realm of Alpha [or deeper into the subconscious]. [...]

If you’re constantly analyzing (I call this “being in analytical mind”), you are in Beta and you’re not able to enter into the subconscious mind. [...]

[Meditation slows down the brain waves and takes you out of Beta state].
Meditation Takes Us from Beta into Alpha and Theta Brain-Wave States. [...]

Meditation Takes Us Beyond Analytical Mind and into the Subconscious. [...]. [It] opens the door between the conscious and subconscious minds. We meditate to enter the operating system of the subconscious, where all of those unwanted habits and behaviors reside, and change them to more productive modes to support us in our lives.”
― Joe Dispenza, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One

“Oftentimes, our hands are more creative than our minds.”
― John Joclebs Bassey, Night of a Thousand Thoughts

“Despite all the lovely and undoubtedly accurate statements pertaining to what art is, perhaps art is merely a person creating a new ethical world in which they can reside. Perhaps when the sculptor, painter, writer, musician, and poet arrive at the point where after many trials and glorious errors they create art, they can put down their chisel, paintbrushes, pen, musical instruments, and verse making. Perhaps when the artist travels beyond the realm of the ordinary, they no longer feel a need to pay homage to a world where other people’s values and principles rule. Creating a new realm for their personal occupancy, they can now destroy all their crutches, burn, crush, and obliterate all their prior creations for what they now perceive as an abomination.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“All forms of procreation including birth and artistic endeavors are a response to the imminence of death. All acts of creation begin with termination of the old lifeless habits and the vigorous pursuit of life sustaining ideas.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Art reflects the current composition of a human soul. Perhaps when the artist finally arrives at the point of making art, an artist perceives all earlier drafts as remnants of their former loathsome self. Perhaps when the songwriter stops writing songs, the singer ceases singing, the musician no longer strums his or her instrument, and the poet no longer strings lyrical verses together they have entered a kingdom of one, a realm of aesthetical and ethical certitude. Perhaps when the writer who creates a piece of literature worthy of bestowing the exalted title of art, he or she must exhibit the same gracious manners by following suit by speaking no more.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“When I tell an inspiring story or when writing a verse, some days my thoughts are just like cocoons hanging from the saturated branches of creativity in the grey woods of my mind’s eye. In time, through the spectacular metamorphous of imagery and innovation those thoughts become butterflies which enter the world in different colors and sizes out of the meadows of printed pages.

An idle mind is the devil's workshop but a creative mind is a gold mine!”
― Daniel Derrick Mwesigye

“That which is not apparent to the naked eye is a treasure trove for creative ideas. Innovative artists connect things that others miss. Being a great artist depends a lot on having novel ideas, researching and defending them, connecting dots that aren't obvious, and making them alive through art.”
― Maria Brito, How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold

“Sonnet 1433

No such thing as an uncreative heart,
If you are alive, you are creative.
Unless cluttered by status quo,
Every heart is by nature creative.

Heart alive is heart creative,
Creativity is a sign of life.
Uncreativity is pulselessness,
Symptom of a heart anemic of life.

I am not creative, I'm just alive,
Creativity is just a byproduct.
If you don't impose limits of norm,
Every blood vessel is creation-duct.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
