Muriel Rukeyser: "Breathe in experience, breathe out [creativity]"

The American poet and political activist Muriel Rukeyser wrote:

"Breathe in experience, breathe out poetry."

I say something similar. Here's my adaption:

"Breathe in good books, sights, conversations, movies, art; and by doing so you can begin to breathe out good writing, good art and good work in whichever creative medium you work through."
