The War of Art - A Quote For Every Creative Person

PS - We are ALL Creative and this Quote is a Bullseye!

Are you someone who writes, paints, plays an instrument, sings, dances or participates in any creative endeavor?

OR are you one of the very few who creates and makes a full time living doing it?

Wherever you are on the spectrum of creativity this quote is worthy of some cogitation.

It’s just one of many thought provoking quotes from a book filled with deep wisdom, entitled The War of Art.

The author is Steven Pressfield who has been a professional writer for more than 40 years.

He’s probably best known for the book-turned-screenplay The Legend of Baggar Vance.

Below is the quote from Pressfield’s book The War of Art;

“The writer is an infantryman.

He knows that progress is measured in yards of dirt extracted from the enemy one day, one hour, one minute at a time and paid for in blood.

The artist wears combat boots. He looks in the mirror and sees GI Joe.

Remember, the Muse favors working stiffs. She hates prima donnas.

To the gods the supreme sin is not rape or murder, but pride.

To think of yourself as a mercenary, a gun for hire, implants the proper humility. It purges pride and preciousness.”

- from The War of Art

Go forth soldier. Create something.

Do so knowing you are using your unique creative force in the pursuit of excellence and expansion; even when no one can see you.
