quotations about spontaneity
But spontaneity is not by any means a blind, disorderly urge, a mere power of caprice. A philosophy restricted to the alternatives of conventional language has no way of conceiving an intelligence which does not work according to plan, according to a one-at-a-time order of thought. Yet the concrete evidence of such an intelligence is right to hand in our own thoughtlessly ordered bodies. For the Tao does not 'know' how it produces the universe just as we do not 'know' how we construct our brains.

Well hello there
My name is not important
I'm often asked what I do for a living
And I answer I do what I want
Spontaneity is the spice of life and I've indulged quite a bit
But I'm not above the law and I'm certainly not lawless
CEE LO GREEN
"The Lady Killer Theme"
You want me flawless
You want me patient and sweet
You want me willing
You want my honesty
You want me to be
Appreciative
Respect your space
Ignore your fears
You want spontaneity
A good girl and a freak
JILL SCOTT
"Willing"
Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are essential to the work of art.
ROLLO MAY
The Courage to Create
All that was alive and spontaneous
Fading under the crests of imbalance
Gnaw your teeth into fangs, only to have them lash out at yourself
For what they forever have done to you
NEUROSIS
"Raze the Stray"
And thus spontaneity is neither reified, of course, nor simply regarded as a liminal, evanescent and insubstantial mental feature. Its elusiveness should not be regarded as a failure of method or theory. It is a sign instead of what spontaneity is: an essential and perhaps most important quality of psychic life, sustaining all forms of creativity. In fact, as soon as spontaneity is romanticized, we lose it. The development of spontaneity, paradoxically, leaves scars.

You organize your life so perfectly
You even take the time to plan your spontaneity
You gotta place for everything except your heart

"Surprise"
All the aches, pains and the joys
Of growing up beside you
Dancing a spontaneous
A dance with you
Your spirit lives
As you have spread the seed
Of love
