Creation Quotes
-
Myths, as compared with folk tales, are usually in a special category of seriousness: they are believed to have "really happened,"or to have some exceptional significance in explaining certain features of life, such as ritual. Again, whereas folk tales simply interchange motifs and develop variants, myths show an odd tendency to stick together and build up bigger structures. We have creation myths, fall and flood myths, metamorphose and dying-god myths.

Time' has a large part to play in looking at a picture. A picture (a stupid empty surface to begin with) gets covered in the course of its creation by a rhythmically measured network of colors, lines and dots, which evokes in its final form a total of living movement. The eye jumps from a blue to red,to green (even if there is only a change of form), to a black line, suddenly comes upon a sharp white eruption, follows it, floats on to.. .It is impossible to take it all-in at once. Time is inseparable from surface.

I mean, even in terms of the Marvel universe, this [Ancient One character] is going on a side street into a major piazza that Marvel hasn't even been to before, because it's all about creation and not so much about destruction and forestalling destruction, it's about your mind.
Tilda Swinton

Where the Internet is about availability of information, blogging is about making information creation available to anyone.
George Siemens
-
All things are created twice, but not all first creations are by conscious design. In our personal lives, if we do not develop our own self-awareness and become responsible for first creations, we empower other people and circumstances outside our Circle of Influence to shape much of our lives by default. We reactively live the scripts handed to us by family, associates, other people's agendas, the pressures of circumstance - scripts from our earlier years, from our training, our conditioning.
Stephen Covey

My muse appears to me in a different form every time a new idea for a song is created. Sometimes I'm inspired by music or film, but more typically it's my surroundings that truly inspire me. Family, work, school, the city I live in, the books I read... All of these things inspire the creation of a song.
Paul Thomas
