Creativity

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



Best Quotes about Creativity

1.
I have asked a lot of my emotions --one hundred and twenty stories. The price was high, right up with Kipling, because there was one little drop of something, not blood, not a tear, not my seed, but me more intimately than these, in every story, it was the extra I had. Now it has gone and I am just like you now.

2.
It seems that the creative faculty and the critical faculty cannot exist together in their highest perfection.
Maugham, W. Somerset

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.
Cecil B. DeMille

6.
The chief enemy of creativity is good taste.
Picasso, Pablo

7.
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

8.
Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.
Bono, Edward De

9.
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.

10.
Had I been present at the creation of the world I would have proposed some improvements.
Alfonso X

11.
It is wise to learn; it is God-like to create.
Saxe, John

12.
I do not seek, I find.
Picasso, Pablo

13.
Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
George Lois

14.
It is almost as if you were frantically constructing another world while the world that you live in dissolves beneath your feet, and that your survival depends on completing this construction at least one second before the old habitation collapses.
Williams, Tennessee

15.
Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.
Frank Thomas

16.
Creative powers can just as easily turn out to be destructive. It rests solely with the moral personality whether they apply themselves to good things or to bad. And if this is lacking, no teacher can supply it or take its place.
Jung, Carl

17.
One of the greatest necessities in America is to discover creative solitude.
Sandburg, Carl

18.
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
Fromm, Erich

19.
Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
Cook, Mary Lou

20.
Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.
Persius

21.
A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
To create something you must be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

23.
Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday.
Kroc, Ray

24.
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.

25.
Creativity is essentially a lonely art. An even lonelier struggle. To some a blessing. To others a curse. It is in reality the ability to reach inside yourself and drag forth from your very soul an idea.
Dorfsman, Lou

26.
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.

27.
Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.
Lee, Bruce

28.
Americans worship creativity the way they worship physical beauty -- as a way of enjoying elitism without guilt: God did it.
King, Florence

29.
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

30.
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

31.
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

32.
The legs are the wheels of creativity.
Einstein, Albert

33.
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

34.
No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.
Artaud, Antonin

35.
The good ideas are all hammered out in agony by individuals, not spewed out by groups.
Browder, Charles

36.
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
Carl Jung

37.
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

38.
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.
I Ching

39.
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

40.
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
Sting

41.
All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.
Duchamp, Marcel

42.
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

43.
A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.
Jampolsky, Gerald G.

44.
Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies.
Fromm, Erich

45.
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.
Ally, Carl

46.
From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality. That is why you write and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all the reasons that no one knows?
Hemingway, Ernest

47.
Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Koestler, Arthur

48.
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

49.
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

50.
Every time we say, "Let there be!" in any form, something happens.
Stella Terrill Mann
