All quotes from
Elizabeth's book
[Live] a life that is driven more strongly by
curiosity than by fear.
The
universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see
if we can find them.
It’s all
about the yes.
The more
lightly you can pass that time, the brighter your existence becomes.
It
matters. It doesn’t matter. Build space in your head for this
paradox. Build as much space for it as
you can.
I think
it’s a mighty act of human love to remind somebody that they can accomplish
things by themselves, and that the world does not automatically owe them any
reward, and that they are not as weak and hobbled as they may believe.
All I
know for certain is that this is how I want to spend my life – collaborating to
the best of my ability with forces of inspiration that I can neither see, nor
prove, nor command, nor understand.
I believe
that our planet is inhabited not only by animals and plants and bacteria and
viruses, but also by ideas. Ideas are a
disembodied, energetic life-form. They
are completely separate from us, but capable of interacting with us – albeit
strangely. Ideas have no material body, but they do have consciousness, and
they most certainly have will. Ideas are
driven by a single impulse: to be made manifest. And the only way an idea can
be made manifest in our world is through collaboration with a human partner.
A
creative life is an amplified life. It’s
a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life.
