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 and ideas only come to me when I have not had a woman in a very long time... Ballads, polonaises, even a whole concerto may have been lost forever up your des durka, I can't tell you how many. I have been so deeply engulfed in my love for you I have hardly created anything.
Claude Debussy
Image
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 Ueland

Inspiration? - a hoax fabricated by poets for their self-importance.
Jean Anouilh

Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process they come out of the work itself.
Chuck Close
Image
Inspiration is for amateurs - the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will - through work - bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great art idea.
Chuck Close
Image
Inspiration is the richest nation I know, the most powerful on earth. Sexual energy Freud calls it the capital of desire I call it it pays for both mental and physical expenditure.
Sylvia Ashton-Warner
Image
Inspiration, hunger: these are the qualities that drive good schools. The best we educational planners can do is to create the most likely conditions for them to flourish, and then get out of their way.
Ted Sizer
Image
Inspiration is the opportunity of genius.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Inspiration comes from books, music, films and of course, living memories and life experiences, my own and those of people I've known or met the casual glimpse from the stranger or the life and death of the close relative to breathe, for a moment, a Chekhovian air, it's all song and ice.
Suhayl Saadi
Image
Inspiration, move me brightly, light the song with sense and color, hold away despair
Robert Hunter
Image
Inspiration is nothing without work.
William Morris Hunt
Image
Inspiration is just one requirement for being a writer. Another is keeping regular working hours.
Zelda Popkin
Image
Inspiration comes from so many sources. Music, other fiction, the non-fiction I read, TV shows, films, news reports, people I know, stories I hear, misheard words or lyrics, dreams
Trudi Canavan
Image
Inspiration can be found in a pile of junk. Sometimes, you can put it together with a good imagination and invent something.
Thomas A. Edison
Image
Inspiration is being motivated by a person or idea. Motivation is being inspired by an object. When people are inspired, they don't need motivation.
Thomas Leonard
Image
Inspiration is intention obeyed.
Emily Carr
Image
Inspiration starts somewhere.
Bill Gates
