Text Quotes
The harder you chase something, the faster you go and the less you’re able to let life meet life. If you’re having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) And we can’t avoid an inch of our own experience; if we do it causes a blur, a bleep, a puffy unreality. Our job is to wake up to everything, because if we slow down enough, we see that we are everything  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) This is the practice school of writing. Like running, the more you do it, the better you get at it  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Watch yourself. Every minute we change. It is a great opportunity. At any point, we can step out of our frozen selves and our ideas and begin fresh  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) I’m never ashamed to read a book twice or as many times as I want. We never expect to drink a glass of water just once in our lives. A book can be that essential, too  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Poems are taught as though the poet has put a secret key in his words and it is the reader’s job to find it. Poems are not mystery novels  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Writing is the crack through which you can crawl into a bigger world, into your wild mind  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) We never graduate from first grade. Over and over, we have to go back to the beginning  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) In the middle of the world, make one positive step. In the center of chaos, make one definitive act. Just write  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) That’s very nice if they want to publish you, but don’t pay too much attention to it. It will toss you away. Just continue to write  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) There is no security, no assurance that because we wrote something good two months ago, we will do it again. Actually, every time we begin, we wonder how we ever did it before  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Women need space and silence. We too quickly give away our energy. There’s something about holding that richness  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don’t wait  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) My goal is to write every day. I say it is my ideal. I am careful not to pass judgment or create anxiety if I do not do it. No one lives up to his ideal  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Play around. Dive into absurdity and write. Take chances. You will succeed if you are fearless of failure  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) After you have finished a piece of work, the work is then none of your business. Go on and do something else  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Know that you will eventually have to leave everything behind; the writing will demand it of you  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) I remember a friend many years ago who had taped a sign to his refrigerator: There’s a dream dreaming us. If you try to think about what that means it makes your mind silly, but that silliness is good  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) The aim is to burn through to first thoughts, to the place where energy is unobstructed by social politeness or the internal censor, to the place where you are writing what you mind actually sees and feels, not what it thinks it should see or feel  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) You live and then you die, I thought. It’s good to have some good times  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Too often we take notes on writing, we think about writing but never do it. I want you to walk into the heart of the storm, written words dripping off hair, eyelids, hanging from hands  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they can’t forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) The muscles of writing are not so visible, but they are just as powerful: determination, attention, curiosity, a passionate heart  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Whether you’re keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it’s the same thing. What’s important is you’re having a relationship with your mind  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) We should notice that we are already supported at every moment. There is the earth below our feet and there is the air, filling our lungs and emptying them. We should begin from this when we need support  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes) Wait until you are hungry to say something, until there is an aching in you to speak  (Natalie Goldberg Quotes)
