“Beauty does not linger, it only visits.
Yet beauty’s visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm, it calls us to feel, think, and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful.
Beauty is a gentle but urgent call to awaken.”
— John O’Donohue

“A creative life is an amplified life.
It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life.
Living in this manner—continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you—is a fine art, in and of itself.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert
“I think I am probably in love with silence, that other world.
And that I write, in some way, to negotiate seriously with it… . Because there is, of course, always the desire, the hope, that they are not two separate worlds, sound and silence, but that they become each other, that only our hearing fails.”
— Jorie Graham, “Some Notes on Silence” in 19 New American Poets of the Golden Gate
