Text Quotes
The muses crown virtue when fortune refuses to do it  (Muses Quotes) Unemployed writers have muses. Employed writers just sweat  (Muses Quotes) Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance  (Muses Quotes) The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited  (Muses Quotes) Happy is the man whom the muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth  (Muses Quotes) True muses stay dreams forever unless artists connect them to exploratory work  (Muses Quotes) Art doesn’t spring from the muses alone, but from hard work  (Muses Quotes) Muses had a way of killing those whom they inspired  (Muses Quotes) It is ever the invisible that is the object of our profoundest worship. With the lover it is not the seen but the unseen that he muses upon  (Muses Quotes) Inspiration is the windfall from hard work and focus. Muses are too unreliable to keep on the payroll.  (Muses Quotes) Who knows where inspiration comes from. Perhaps it arises from desperation. Perhaps it comes from the flukes of the universe, the kindness of the muses  (Muses Quotes) Christianity is merely a system for turning priestesses into handmaidens, queens into concubines, and goddesses into muses  (Muses Quotes) I think of mythology as the homeland of the muses, the inspirers of art, the inspirers of poetry. To see life as a poem and yourself participating in a poem is what the myth does for you  (Muses Quotes) It’s only very recently that women have succeeded in entering those professions which, as Muses, they typified for the Greeks  (Muses Quotes) Memory in Greek mythology is the mother of the muses, and it is so for me. Both personal and societal memory move me strongly, and that is one of the sources of my writing  (Muses Quotes) Writers feel that they can’t afford to wait. They must do it now, and they are so clever, and there is so much competition. I’m quite happy to wait, and quite confident that the muses will cross the stream  (Muses Quotes) But the culture-vultures and the intellectual snobs, and the self-appointed guardians of the Muses, often frighten off the average person from the free development of this appetite.  (Muses Quotes) People think of me as a stereotype: muse, privileged, decorative. Classically, the muses were the inspiration. They’d come and go - they wouldn’t actually make things, get their hands dirty. I don’t think I’m a muse, although I think I can help pull a trigger. I really like getting my hands dirty.  (Muses Quotes) Muses are fickle, and many a writer, peering into the voice, has escaped paralysis by ascribing the creative responsibility to a talisman: a lucky charm, a brand of paper, but most often a writing instrument. Am I writing well? Thank my pen. Am I writing badly? Don’t blame me blame my pen. By such displacements does the fearful imagination defend itself.  (Muses Quotes) I do not know whether I would not like much better to have produced one perfectly formed child by intercourse with the muses than by intercourse with my wife  (Muses Quotes) When a painting problem crops up, don’t rush to fix it. You probably already know one way to fix it, but wait for something else to show up... invite the muses to bring you a new solution  (Muses Quotes) The delicate muses lose their head if their attention is once diverted. Perhaps if you were successful abroad in talking and dealing with men, you would not come back to your bookshelf and your task. When the spirit chooses you for its scribe to publish some commandment, it makes you odious to men and men odious to you, and you shall accept that loathsomeness with joy. The moth must fly to the lamp, and you must solve those questions though you die  (Muses Quotes) Inspiration is hogwash. My work comes directly out of my loves and hates. Muses don’t whisper in my ear, and ideas don’t flow over my body like a cool rain  (Muses Quotes) Muses are fickle, and many a writer, peering into the voice, has escaped paralysis by ascribing the creative responsibility to a talisman: a lucky charm, a brand of paper, but most often a writing instrument. Am I writing well? Thank my pen. Am I writing badly? Don’t blame me blame my pen. By such displacements does the fearful imagination defend itself  (Muses Quotes) I have always believed that opera is a planet where the muses work together, join hands and celebrate all the arts  (Muses Quotes) The most astonishing joy is to receive from the muses the gift of a whole lyric  (Muses Quotes) Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh  (Muses Quotes) An acquaintance with the muses, in the education of youth, contributes not a little to soften manners. It gives a delicate turn to the imagination and a polish to the mind  (Muses Quotes) With thought, with the ideal, is immortal hilarity, the rose of joy. Round it all the muses sing  (Muses Quotes) The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast  (Muses Quotes)
