For a lot of us, awareness is merely realizing the extent to which we've been lied to all our lives. You start educating yourself. You become motivated; you follow your muse where it takes you. And you see the world in a different way. You start making decisions based on what you feel is right.

I think I look for a muse in women. Someone I can just picture in my mind. Someone who respects herself and others. It isn't so much the things she says, it's mainly what she does. That's what make her all the more beautiful.

Virgil Abloh

All of my songs were about my firsthand experiences. Pretty much, I've learned how to become my own muse and take situations from my own life and wear them on my sleeve.

Robert J. Sawyer

Canadian Writer

Kate Christensen

The male muse is an unaccountably rare thing in art. Where does that leave female artists looking for inspiration?

Personal Reflection

When you muse, the mood is thoughtful and slightly introspective, not urgent or rushed.

Subtle Mood

A muse in the artistic sense brings inspiration, often sparking creativity in the arts.

Creative Spark

Remember, a muse can be a person but also an object, location, or idea that inspires.

Person or Thing

When someone muses, look for expressions that show they are sharing thoughts they've pondered.

Thoughtful Expression

Using 'muse' in conversation implies that you are inviting others to consider your thoughts.

 This is my wife Christi, who is just, you know, my muse and my partner for eternity here. And she does drawings, right? She's an actual, you know, artist.

 Now what is especially important about that experience for me is We found that we could do a lot in the arts and humanities and social sciences. And so we began to work on that, for years in the '60s. And we produced a number of people in law, all the way to the humanities. We produced great artists. Beckett is our muse.
