Journaling, stream-of-consciousness writing (a la The Artist's Way), drawing your breakfast or doing a portrait of someone you love—put the pen or pencil to paper. It helps to always carry a small notebook or sketchbook on you, because you never know when inspiration will strike, and often it starts with a simple point of curiosity: "I wonder..." or "What if...".
Just go for it.(less)

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Quotes by Vesper Stamper  (?)
Quotes are added by the 카지노싸이트 community and are not verified by 카지노싸이트.

“When all is stripped away, who am I? Even if our abilities are diminished or removed from us, there are deeper gifts we can give. We can love others with our very selves.”
Vesper Stamper, What the Night Sings

“They tear the bread into tiny pieces and roll them between their fingers into fine crumbs, tossing them to the peeping birds. Amazing, to have a piece of bread to share with birds. The man is a millionaire.”
Vesper Stamper, What the Night Sings

“I play viola... but I'm really a singer."
"That's not really what you are," she says frankly.
Her directness startles me. "What do you mean?"
It maybe what you do. But even a voice can be taken from you.”
Vesper Stamper, What the Night Sings

“Time...which is eternity in disguise.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man

“Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel

“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man

“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

“Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.”
Dorothy Parker
