Science and vivisection make no appeal to a theological idea, much less a political one.

Brenda Ueland

Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express.
BRENDA UELAND

Express Human Talent
You can argue with a theologian or a politician, but doctors are sacrosanct. They know; you do not. Science has its mystique much more powerful than any religion active today.

I know that we live after death and again and again, not in the memory of our children, or as a mulch for trees and flowers, however poetic that may be, but looking passionately and egocentrically out of our eyes.

Children Flower Memories
If we don’t act at all (express our imaginings either in work or a changing personality, so that we can learn and think again something better) we certainly rot.

Acceptance Inspirational Unique
Now some people when they sit down to write and nothing special comes, no good ideas, are so frightened that they drink a lot of strong coffee to hurry them up, or smoke packages of cigarettes, or take drugs or get drunk.

Think of yourself as incandescent power, illuminated perhaps and forever talked to by God and his messengers…. Think if Tiffany’s made a mosquito, how wonderful we would think it was!
BRENDA UELAND

Incandescent Messenger Think Yourself
So remember these two things: you are talented and you are original. Be sure of that. I say this because self-trust is one of the very most important things in writing.

The only way to love a person is…by listening to them and seeing and believing in the god, in the poet, in them. For by doing this, you keep the god and the poet alive and make it flourish.
BRENDA UELAND

Alive Believe Listening
Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are constantly being re-created.

The best way to know the Truth or Beauty is to try to express it.

You have to hold your audience in writing to the very end-much more than in talking, when people have to be polite and listen to you.

Why should we all use our creative power….? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold and compassionate, so indifferent to fighting and the accumulation of objects and money.

It is so conceited and timid to be ashamed of one’s mistakes. Of course they are mistakes. Go on to the next.
