Federating from the world of creative arts, Julia Cameron presents multiple quotations from famous creative people, describing their own experiences of direct creativity. Here are some of them:

"The Painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through." Jackson Pollock

"The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel." Piet Mondrian

"The music of this opera [Madame Butterfly] was dictated to me by God; I was merely instrumental in putting it on paper and communicating it to the public." Giacomo Puccini

"I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me." William Blake

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost." Martha Graham
