I somehow sensed when i was a teenager that i wanted to do my own work. i was quite clear that i didn't want to be an interpretative kind of artist. i had an intuition about wanting to create my own form, in one way or another, whatever that would be.

Teenager Artist Intuition

More From Meredith Monk

Leaders trust their guts. "intuition" is one of those good words that has gotten a bad rap. for some reason, intuition has become a "soft" notion. garbage! intuition is the new physics. it's an einsteinian, seven-sense, practical way to make tough decisions. bottom line, circa 2001 to 2010: the crazier the times are, the more important it is for leaders to develop and to trust their intuition.

Coming back to america was, for me, much more of a culture shock than going to india. the people in the indian countryside don't use their intellect like we do, they use their intuition instead, and their intuition is far more developed than in the rest of the world. intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect in my opinion. that's had a big impact on my work.

The cliché i tried to avoid was i hated "teenage sidekicks." i always figured if i were a superhero, there's no way on god's earth that i'm gonna pal around with some teenager. so my publisher insisted i have a teenager in the series, because they always felt teenagers won't read the books unless there's a teenager in the story; which is nonsense.

I've been doing four-track songs by myself since i was like a teenager, where i'd sing in a way that i ... i just didn't think other people would like it, so i didn't play it for them but eventually i got over that, which i'm happy that i did, because it's kind of a drag to be playing a kind of music that you don't really like as much as another kind.

I'm saying that we should trust our intuition. i believe that the principles of universal evolution are revealed to us through intuition. and i think that if we combine our intuition and our reason, we can respond in an evolutionary sound way to our problems.

Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.

Similar Quotes

Whatever he says, let his inner resolution be not to bear whatever comes to him, but to bear it 'for a reasonable period'--and let the reasonable period be shorter than the trial is likely to last. it need not be much shorter; in attacks on patience, chastity, and fortitude, the fun is to make the man yield just when (had he but known it) relief was almost in sight.

Freedom is not a gift nor does it simply exist for us to have, but rather it is a sacred duty, and its blessed yield of hope is born from none other than the blood of the innocent.

That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life

The possessions god allows us to have are intended for our use, not our enjoyment. trying to squeeze something out of them that was never in them in the first place is a futile endeavor. a cow's udders, gently pressed, will yield sweet milk, nourishing and refreshing. applying more and more pressure will not produce greater quantities of milk. we lose the good of material things by expecting too much from them. those who try hardest to please themselves with earthly goods find the least satisfaction in them.
