The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.

The task of art today is to bring chaos into order.

Art is the triumph over chaos.

We're all going about trying to make beauty in the world and trying to make order out of chaos. And that's what art is.

Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

The creative act is also in a small way a suffering act - we start out with our ego, this hope of making this thing whatever it be, but so often it eludes us and it collapses and we kind of regress into this mental suffering, we can't find what we're looking for.

The creative act amazes me. Whether it's poetry, whether it's music, it's an amazing process, and it has something to do with bringing forth the old out into the world to create and to bring forth that which will rejuvenate.

In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.

We all take from our artistic endeavors what we as individuals need, to make the process unique and fulfilling to ourselves.
