EG Quotes: "Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart."
"The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them."
"Be the weirdo who dares to enjoy."
"So this, I believe, is the central question on which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?"
