“Don't wait for the muse. As I've said, he's a hardheaded guy who's not susceptible to a lot of creative fluttering. This isn't the Ouija board or the spirit-world we're talking about here, but just another job like laying pipe or driving long-haul trucks. Your job is to make sure the muse knows where you're going to be every day from nine 'til noon. or seven 'til three. If he does know, I assure you that sooner or later he'll start showing up.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“...you want things to remain the same, which they never can, and so you’re wounded by your own feelings & resentful others don’t seem to care...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“Hallo, Pooh,â€� said Rabbit.
“Hallo, Rabbit,� said Pooh dreamily.
“Did you make that song up?�
“Well, I sort of made it up,� said Pooh. “It isn’t Brain,� he went on humbly, “because You Know Why, Rabbit; but it comes to me sometimes.�
“Ah!â€� said Rabbit, who never let things come to him, but always went and fetched them.”
― A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

“I am your own way of looking at things," she said. "When you allow me to live with you, every glance at the world around you will be a sort of salvation”
― William Stafford

“A sacrifice is not about expecting God to break the bond you have with another person. You make the sacrifice on your own because God is more important than the bond.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“The hours spent forming a written work can make one obsessive, distracted, compulsive, and neurotic even, especially when it comes to those rare, precious occasions of streaming pure inspiration. To have a muse moment interrupted - to watch her scuttle back into hiding with unshared insight remaining on the tip of her tongue - is a wicked irritation. When a writer's eyes glaze over, when she stares off at nothing or appears to be memorizing the lines on a blank page, when she falls asleep at the desk... tiptoe softly. For a writer's greatest desire is to receive inspiration; her greatest nightmare, to have tossed to the wind what could have been captured in words.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

“...I worship at the temple of your body and without you, I'd have no art...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“We're never alone. As soon as we step outside the campfire glow, our Muse lights on our shoulder like a butterfly. The act of courage calls for infallibly that deeper part of ourselves that supports and sustains us.”
― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

“...you do violence with your words if you force them - art is given - the words received, moment by moment from unseen hands - call it a Muse ...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“...at morning, I'm unruffled - I'll sit with my tea and Muse Cat beside me and listen to the soft chime of the grandfather clock...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“I see it, Jack. Your muse is back. The thing that gave you passion, tormented you, and haunted you is back. You're reeling in ecstasy and dread. It's something you want, but can't ever have. And the one that brings the pain is pure, white as snow... and standing in front of you.”
― H.M. Ward, Scandalous

“...why is my cat a Muse? the cat has the rare grace of never saying a word too muchâ€� Mark Twain ...that's why ...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“There’s nothing worse than being violently jerked away from creativity.”
― Aaron B. Powell, Sugar Baby

“Hi, I am Matt Bellamy and I am in a band called Muse and we play Music”
― Matt Bellamy

“...today there are bars of light on the rug, but Muse Cat prefers his tomato box where he can dream in private...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“I’ve long considered becoming a writer to be the death of nightmares. For me at least, since I started writing I hadn’t had any. Something really terrible or awful happens in a dream and you wake up and think, awesome, and reach for a pen and paper.”
― Logan Kain, The Dead Will Rise First

“Laughing in my ear is a muse amused by how I paint her whims on paper with silly words.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Making Wishes: Quotes, Thoughts, & a Little Poetry for Every Day of the Year

“Muse is a tyrant. It gets you out of bed in the twilight of the morning and forces you to create something!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“...If I ever got sloppy and maudlin, it would be for the streets of my childhood—but no self- respecting writer should ever eulogize a slum...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“She had found more than peace of mind. She had discovered the state of her soul set down in ink.”
― Nancy Horan, Loving Frank

“Flora was in that state where the spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak and wishes to go on holiday - and where the flesh in most cases wins hands down with a packed suitcase. It did so now. So she did what many a researcher both great and insignificant does when they are stuck. She yawned while contemplating how to catch the Muse by surprising Her. Almost invariably, the Muse has seen it all before - and also yawns.”
― Mavis Cheek

“When both lovers yearn to become entirely one being, to free each other and to develop each other to the greatest perfection, this is the highest form of love possible between a man and a woman....To experience such love is to feel oneself doubled. Such feeling liberates and deepens the personality, inspires us to noble deeds and works of genius.”
― Nancy Horan, Loving Frank

“Words are beads on the strings of sentences. So make a beautiful necklace!”
― Aneta Cruz
