Sting

I must create a system or be enslaved by another man s; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
Blake, William

Anyone can look for fashion in a boutique or history in a museum. The creative explorer looks for history in a hardware store and fashion in an airport.
Wieder, Robert

All works of art are commissioned in the sense that no artist can create one by a simple act of will but must wait until what he believes to be a good idea for a work comes to him.
Auden, W. H.

5.
It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which the thinker is lukewarm.
Henle, Mary

Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem.
Aldiss, Brian

That which builds is better than that which is built.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Is not the tremendous strength in men of the impulse to creative work in every field precisely due to their feeling of playing a relatively small part in the creation of living beings, which constantly impels them to an overcompensation in achievement?
Horney, Karen

20.
There is the happiness which comes from creative effort. The joy of dreaming, creating, building, whether in painting a picture, writing an epic, singing a song, composing a symphony, devising new invention, creating a vast industry.
Miller, Henry

Koestler, Arthur

22.
Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday.
Kroc, Ray

23.
Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
Klee, Paul

24.
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.
Bennett, Arnold

25.
The most potent muse of all is our own inner child.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

John W. Gardner

Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
George Lois

28.
The good ideas are all hammered out in agony by individuals, not spewed out by groups.
Browder, Charles

29.
The legs are the wheels of creativity.
Einstein, Albert

30.
One measure of how creative you are is how you respond to changes in your circumstances and environment. How flexible are you? Consider how water adapts to its environment: evaporation, condensation, snowflake, melting, flowing, goes around rocks, fills containers, etc.

31.
I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.
Proust, Marcel

32.
One of the greatest necessities in America is to discover creative solitude.
Sandburg, Carl

33.
Had I been present at the creation of the world I would have proposed some improvements.
Alfonso X

34.
All the lies and evasions by which man has nourished himself -- civilization, in a word is the fruits of the creative artist. It is the creative nature of man which has refused to let him lapse back into that unconscious unity with life which characterizes the animal world from which he made his escape.
Miller, Henry

35.
The chief enemy of creativity is good taste.
Picasso, Pablo

36.
Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.
Persius

37.
Creativity comes from awakening and directing men's higher natures, which originate in the primal depths of the uni- verse and are appointed by Heaven.

Bono, Edward De

Jampolsky, Gerald G.

The things we fear most in organizations -- fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances -- are the primary sources of creativity.
Wheatley, Margaret J.

42.
The essential part of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
Land, Edwin H.

43.
The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.
Dee Hock

44.
Creativity is...seeing something that doesn't exist already. You need to find out how you can bring it into being and that way be a playmate with God.

The person who can combine frames of reference and draw connections between ostensibly unrelated points of view is likely to be the one who makes the creative breakthrough.
Shekerjian, Denise

Cook, Mary Lou

50.
The creative person, the person who moves from an irrational source of power, has to face the fact that this power antagonizes. Under all the superficial praise of the creative is the desire to kill. It is the old war between the mystic and the nonmystic, a war to the death.
Sarton, May
