Will you marry me? Will you marry me? I love you. Will you marry me? I don’t want anybody else to be with you. I DONT WANT ANYBODY ELSE TO BE WITH YOU. I want to be with you. Do you understand me? I don’t want anybody else to be with you. Except me. I love you. I love you. LOOK AT ME, I LOVE YOU. -Robert De Niro, New York, New York
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and 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 be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. -Martha Graham

Do stuff.
Be clenched, curious.
Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead.
Pay attention.
It’s all about paying attention.
Attention is vitality.
It connects you with others.
It makes you eager.
Stay eager.-Susan Sontag
