YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Jules Renard

 

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Bret Easton Ellis

Welcome back, folks. Now get 2012 moving with one from Mr. American Psycho himself, Bret Easton Ellis--a casual suggestion on how (not) to manage your creative edge:

I'm not a big believer in disciplined writers. What does discipline mean? The writer who forces himself to sit down and write for seven hours every day might be wasting those seven hours if he's not in the mood and doesn't feel the juice. I don't think discipline equals creativity.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Ralph Waldo Emerson

Society everywhere is in conspiracy against every one of it's members. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is it's aversion. One who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Vaclav Havel

If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Christopher Hitchens

What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Antony Jay

The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: David Lynch

Ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Hunter S. Thompson

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Thomas Edison

I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Edgar Allan Poe

There is an eloquence in true enthusiasm.
