SPONTANEITY QUOTES
quotations about spontaneity
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way.
MARS BONFIRE
"Born to Be Wild"
Wheels have been set in motion, and they have their own pace, to which we are ... condemned. Each move is dictated by the previous one -- that is the meaning of order. If we start being arbitrary it'll just be a shambles: at least, let us hope so.

ANNE DRANITSARIS

So here "artistic spontaneity" is further perceived as a state of unreflective immediacy that one 'returns' to after having mastered a modular set of skills, actions or ways of thought through a long period of concentrated and mindful practice.

Dialectics of Spontaneity: The Aesthetics and Ethics of Su Shi
