"In terms of individuals who actually inspired me, very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry"

- Twyla Tharp

About this Quote

Twyla Tharp's quote speaks with the power of inspiration and how it can originate from unanticipated places. She acknowledges that the scholastic people she had access to did not have the power to inspire her, likely because she was not as devoted to geometry as she was to other pursuits. This recommends that inspiration can come from a variety of sources, which it is not necessarily tied to a specific subject or discipline. It is possible that Tharp discovered her inspiration in other areas, such as dance, music, or art. This quote also talks to the value of finding something that really resonates with us and that we are enthusiastic about. Without that enthusiasm, it can be hard to discover the motivation to pursue a specific topic or activity. Ultimately, Tharp's quote acts as a suggestion that motivation can come from unexpected places, and that it is essential to find something that we are truly passionate about.
