“The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.”.She harnesses the urge for trouble and transforms it in her work.” The working artist banishes from her world all sources of trouble. “The working artist will not tolerate trouble in her life because she knows trouble prevents her from doing her work.There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny.”

“This very moment, we can change our lives.“We don’t just put off our lives today we put them off till our deathbed.”.“The highest treason a crab can commit is to make a leap for the rim of the bucket.”.“The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.”.“Henry Fonda was still throwing up before each stage performance, even when he was seventy-five.”.“It was easier for Hitler to start World War II than it was for him to face a blank square of canvas.”.The life we live, and the unlived life within us. “What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance.”.“It’s not the writing part that’s hard.The power to take charge is in your hands all you had to do is believe it.“The best and only thing that one artist can do for another is to serve as an example and an inspiration.”.“The awakening artist must be ruthless, not only with herself but with others.”.“If you take Resistance at its word, you deserve everything you get.”.Its aim is to shove us away, distract us, prevent us from doing our work.” We experience it as an energy field radiating from a work-in-potential. “Resistance cannot be seen, touched, heard, or smelled.Most of us have two lives: The life we live before we turn pro and the life after.Resistance is what keeps us from sitting down and doing our best work.
