Inspiration

Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.
- Eliot, George

Best Quotes about Inspiration

1.
My sole inspiration is a telephone call from a director.
Porter, Cole

2.
Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness -- I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.
Copland, Aaron

3.
An idea ran back and forward in his head like a blind man, knocking over the solid furniture.

4.
You beat your Pate, and fancy Wit will come: Knock as you please, there's no body at home.
Pope, Alexander

5.
The inspiration of the almighty gives man understanding.
Bible

6.
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Picasso, Pablo

7.
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
Jack London

8.
Invention flags, his brain goes muddy, and black despair succeeds brown study.
Congreve, William

9.
Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant, there is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

10.
I didn't have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let's say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!
Miller, Henry

11.
Out of the closets and into the museums, libraries, architectural monuments, concert halls, bookstores, recording studios and film studios of the world. Everything belongs to the inspired and dedicated thief... Words, colors, light, sounds, stone, wood, bronze belong to the living artist. They belong to anyone who can use them. Loot the Louver! A bas l Originality, the sterile and assertive ego that imprisons us as it creates. Vive le sol -- pure, shameless, total. We are not responsible. Steal anything in sight.
Burroughs, William S.

12.
There never was a great soul that did not have some divine inspiration.
Cicero, Marcus T.

13.
Here is the secret of inspiration: Tell yourself that thousands and tens of thousands of people, not very intelligent and certainly no more intelligent than the rest of us, have mastered problems as difficult as those that now baffle you.
Feather, William

14.
The greatest inspiration is often born of desperation.
Cotrell, Comer

15.
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.
Bresson, Robert

16.
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.
Frank Tibolt

17.
Inspiration may be a form of superconsciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness - I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self- consciousness.
Aaron Copland

18.
I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.
Socrates

19.
Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.
Eliot, George

20.
The torpid artist seeks inspiration at any cost, by virtue or by vice, by friend or by fiend, by prayer or by wine.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
To the artist is sometimes granted a sudden, transient insight which serves in this matter for experience. A flash, and where previously the brain held a dead fact, the soul grasps a living truth! At moments we are all artists.
Bennett, Arnold
