“Energy is neutral. It is what we do with it that makes it destructive or creative, harmful or healing.”

— Laura Archera Huxley, You Are Not The Target, 1963, Part Two, 1. You are not the Target

About Laura Archera Huxley

Italian-American violinist, psychotherapist and author of "You Are Not the Target" (1963).

“Creativity is not the monopoly of the Shakespeares and Einsteins of this world.”

“Like any other faculty, imagination can be starved and suffocated or stimulated and nourished.”

“Each one of us has, in varying degree, the power to make others feel better or worse.”

“Most wretched men are cradled into poetry by wrong; They learn in suffering what they teach in song.”

“Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive.”

“Turn your wounds into wisdom.”

“Art is the great and universal refreshment.”

“While our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.”

“Any one thing in the creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to an humble and grateful mind.”
