The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.

Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.

If you take Resistance at its word, you deserve everything you get. Resistance is always lying and always full of shit.

Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. Resistance arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. Resistance is the enemy within.

Do we have to stare death in the face to make us stand up and confront Resistance?

Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.

All that matters is I’ve put in my time and hit it with all I’ve got.

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got.

The artist can't do his work hierarchically. He has to work territorially.
