Why Does the Brain Remember Dreams?



"Inspiration is for amateurs — the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will — through work — bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great ‘art idea.’" - Chuck Close
"... I told him he needed six items in his kit: time, space, series, media, books and desire." - Robert Genn
"A writer is a person whose skill is improved by a deadline." - Geist
"Start, stretch, reach, climb, go. Because just waiting for the magic... takes forever." - TU
"We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends." - Leonardo da Vinci
