Inspiration

You can't wait for inspiration.
You have to go after it with a club.
Jack London



The notion that inspiration is something that happened thousands of years ago, and was then finished and done with. . . the theory that God retired from business at that period and has not been heard from since, is as silly as it is blasphemous.       -George Bernard Shaw



It usually happens that the more faithfully people follow the inspirations they receive, the more do they experience new inspirations which ask increasingly more of them.        -Joseph de Guibert



Inspiration means that you don't have to figure things out, or think about them. Ideas and answers pop into your head and the energy carries you forward, if you allow it. Planning… is a way of ritually killing inspiration, which transcends the need for planning.        -Chuck Spezzano



Inspiration comes whenever it wants, even at the most unlikely times and in the most inappropriate situations. Often it arrives bit by bit. Therefore it must be anchored, and this is where a most valuable item makes its appearance: the notebook.         -Piero Ferrucci



Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.         -Frank Lloyd Wright



Here is the secret of inspiration: Tell yourself that thousands and tens of thousands of people, not very intelligent and certainly no more intelligent than the rest of us, have mastered problems as difficult as those that now baffle you.       -William Feather

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.        -Frank Tibolt



When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.       -Patanjali



Inspiration is never genuine if it is known as inspiration at the time. True inspiration always steals on a person, its importance not being fully recognized for some time.         -Samuel Butler



Inspiration does not come like a blot, nor is it kinetic energy striving, but it comes to us slowly and quietly all the time.        -Brenda Euland
