Serious art is born from serious play.

Julia Cameron
About This Quote

Serious art is born from serious play. This quote is a great reminder to the reader that a life without play is a life with little passion. It's not that you can't create something from nothing, but it takes a mad scientist to accomplish this feat. A child raised in a play-filled household will grow up with an excellent grasp on the creative process. In fact, he or she will likely even add to his own talents when the time comes to work toward a career.
