Motivational Quotes
Creativity
The creative person wants to be a know -it -all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth -century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.

Best Quotes about Creativity
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.
Michele Shea
When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied:'Only stand out of my light.'Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light.
John W. Gardner
Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.
Cecil B. DeMille
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
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.
The desire to create continually is vulgar and betrays jealousy, envy, ambition. If one is something one really does not need to make anything --and one nonetheless does very much. There exists above the productive man a yet higher species.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
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
We try not to have ideas, preferring accidents. To create, you must empty yourself of every artistic thought.
George, Gilbert
Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.
Land, Edwin H.
Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
Cook, Mary Lou
Because of their courage, their lack of fear, they (creative people) are willing to make silly mistakes. The truly creative person is one who can think crazy; such a person knows full well that many of his great ideas will prove to be worthless. The creative person is flexible -- he is able to change as the situation changes, to break habits, to face indecision and changes in conditions without undue stress. He is not threatened by the unexpected as rigid, inflexible people are.
Goble, Frank
Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies.
Fromm, Erich
Creation is a drug I can't do without.
Mille, Cecil B. De
Our senses are indeed our doors and windows on this world, in a very real sense the key to the unlocking of meaning and the wellspring of creativity.
Houston, Jean
The power in which we must have faith if we would be well, is the creative and curative power which exists in every living thing.
Kellogg, John
The creative process involves getting input, making a recommendation, getting critical review, getting more input, improving the recommendation, getting more critical review... again and again and again.
The things we fear most in organizations -- fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances -- are the primary sources of creativity.
Wheatley, Margaret J.
It is wise to learn; it is God-like to create.
Saxe, John
It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
Doctorow, E. L.
We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
The creative urge is the demon that will not accept anything second rate.
Mille, Agnes De
Some collaboration has to take place in the mind between the woman and the man before the art of creation can be accomplished. Some marriage of opposites has to be consummated. The whole of the mind must lie wide open if we are to get the sense that the
Woolf, Virginia
There were always people like the pope. They serve a certain function, of course. They subsidize us. But, they don't create anything and they must never be allowed to stop the artist from creating.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.
Caesar, Julius
Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Koestler, Arthur
Man was made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Twain, Mark
Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday.
Kroc, Ray
Whoever undertakes to create soon finds himself engaged in creating himself. Self-transformation and the transformation of others have constituted the radical interest of our century, whether in painting, psychiatry, or political action.
Rosenberg, Harold
No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.
Artaud, Antonin
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
I started concentrating so hard on my vision that I lost sight.
Robin Green
That which builds is better than that which is built.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.
Norman Podhoretz
Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.
Frank Thomas
Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy-the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.
Podhoretz, Norman
Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.
Bono, Edward De
The chief enemy of creativity is good taste.
Picasso, Pablo
The lash may force men to physical labor, it cannot force them to spiritual creativity.
Asch, Sholem
The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge.
Stephen Nachmanovitch
Genius is initiative on fire.
Jackson, George Holbrook
The essential part of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
Land, Edwin H.
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
Fromm, Erich
A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.
Jampolsky, Gerald G.
Humanity can be quite cold to those whose eyes see the world differently.
Eric A. Burns
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
Sting
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
When all is said and done, monotony may after all be the best condition for creation.
Sackville, Margaret
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.
Bennett, Arnold
