Vera NazarianThe other day, when I was deciding where to place a mountain range, how to make a river's flow detour around underground stalactite caves, and what precise color to give the sky at sunset, I realized I was God... or an artist and a writer.
About This Quote
The idea of being God or an artist is something that most people would think is absurd. Instead, it is often the best of both worlds. When you meet someone who can do both of those things, you know that person is truly gifted. Their ability to create things with their mind is formidable.
They are capable of coming up with solutions to problems that most people never even think about. When you see their work, it feels alive. It feels real.
It feels alive, as if your mind can run along side theirs as they create something amazing and special.
