Muse Quotes

When inspiration does not come, I go for a walk, go to the movie, talk to a friend, let go... The muse is bound to return again, especially if I turn my back! Picture Quote #1

For hundreds of years people have talked about artists having inspiration, but often, some persons would say, write us a symphony or write us a song, on commission. The artists would come up with a masterpiece without waiting to have their muse inspire them Picture Quote #1

Most bands have a sound that they’re already identified with, so for the producer it becomes a process of helping them find their muse in the studio to make a record that will not only satisfy them artistically, but will also do something in the marketplace Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it’s time, I muse, to close those chapters and remember the enduring lesson of my entrapment: that relationships, not accomplishments, are what’s important in life Picture Quote #1

... by and by a change came: I started to muse about the shape of my nose. I put my trivial surroundings aside and mused more and more about myself, and I found this to be a bewitching occupation. I stopped asking and longed instead to speak of my thoughts and feelings. Alas, there was no one besides myself who found me interesting Picture Quote #1

I remember sitting at the end of my mum’s bed being fascinated by her ritual of getting dressed. It was a very methodical and considered process. I suppose you could say she was my first real muse Picture Quote #1

Why does my muse only speak when she is uhnhappy? She does not, I only listen when I am unhappy Picture Quote #1

The muse holds no appointments. You can never call on it. I don’t understand people who get up at 9 o’clock in the morning, put on the coffee and sit down to write Picture Quote #1

In spite of its romantic frisson, the position of muse is very vague and largely thankless for the muse herself Picture Quote #1

I struggle with enormous discrepancies: between the reality of motherhood and the image of it, between my love for my home and the need to travel, between the varied and seductive paths of the heart. The lessons of impermanance, the occasional despair and the muse, so tenuously moored, all visit their needs upon me and I dig deeply for the spiritual utilities that restore me: my love for the place, for the one man left, for my children and friends and the great green pulse of spring Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have time to be anyone’s muse... I was too busy rebelling against my family and learning to be an artist Picture Quote #1

Never forget that the nurturing and preservation of your own muse is job one. Lose it and you may be losing a great deal Picture Quote #1

The muse whispers to you when she chooses, and you can’t tell her to come back later, because you quickly learn in this business that she might not come back at all Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to act in the morning. The muse isn’t even awake Picture Quote #1

I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better Picture Quote #1

It inspired all sorts of whims and fancies that I ultimately wove into a fairy tale complete with muse, the earth, the moon, some famous inventors, a dog and a rabbit Picture Quote #1

A successful artist is inspired by his muse, and his muse is inspired by the payment of a commission Picture Quote #1

The adventure of composition is a mystery. The muse has her ways, she hides from you, comes for you in the middle of the night, at midday, at dawn. You must believe wholeheartedly in this divine power. Its an elusive gift that can appear at any time, anywhere. Artists are in awe of it Picture Quote #1

We know the human mind is programmed to glaze over when bored. Conversely, the mind is more alert in the presence of novelty. Our muse needs to stay seductive to keep our hands doing the right things Picture Quote #1

Build pockets of stillness into your life. Meditate. Go for walks. Ride your bike going nowhere in particular. There is a creative purpose to daydreaming, even to boredom. The best ideas come to us when we stop actively trying to coax the muse into manifesting and let the fragments of experience float around our unconscious mind in order to click into new combinations. Without this essential stage of unconscious processing, the entire flow of the creative process is broken Picture Quote #1

A muse can be a mirror: a reflection of the artist’s desires, anxieties, dreams and needs Picture Quote #1

When you first awaken or before drifting off to sleep, quiet your mind, lift up your heart, muse, mull over, make discoveries. Consider, conceive, create, connect, concede that it all starts within Picture Quote #1

If a muse knocked at our studio door tomorrow, how many of us would even notice? Picture Quote #1

Writing is total grunt work. A lot of people think it’s all about sitting and waiting for the muse. I don’t buy that. It’s a job. There are days when I really want to write, days when I don’t. Every day I sit down and write Picture Quote #1

Most people wait for the muse to turn up. That’s terribly unreliable. I have to sit down and pursue the muse by attempting to work Picture Quote #1

I wish I could write easily. I’m one of those guys who’s visited by the muse when things are dire Picture Quote #1

You always need that spark of imagination. Sometimes I’m midway through a book before it happens. However, I don’t wait for the muse to descend, I sit down every day and I work when I’m not delivering lambs on the farm Picture Quote #1
