How to be an Artist by Jerry Saltz

"Imagination is more Important than Knowledge" - Einstein 

The imagination is endless and always there. It's a lens, a tool that enlarges life, the animates your own Cambrian Ocean of the past, present and potential future forms. It adds to what Samuel Taylor Coolidge called "gorgeous nonsense", making unreal things real, and real things unreal. 

Pledge allegiance to it; live up to it; honor, listen and take pleasure in it; let it be your magic lantern and flying carpet. 

Your imagination extends your mind to the world around you at pressurize, composes, decomposes, and connect thoughts. It's inseparable from you and will be with you on the day you die. “The imagination is not a state” said William Blake. It is the human existence itself. 

Creativity is what you do with your imagination. Write down your fights are fancy, your moments of wonder and fear your dreams and illusions of grandeur. Then put them to work. Make the imagination your compass star.
