Creativity

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



Best Quotes about Creativity

1.
The whole difference between construction and creation is this; that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
Dickens, Charles

2.
Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.
Bono, Edward De

3.
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.

4.
Serious people have few ideas. People with ideas are never serious.
Valery, Paul

5.
Americans worship creativity the way they worship physical beauty -- as a way of enjoying elitism without guilt: God did it.
King, Florence

6.
The human mind cannot create anything. It produces nothing until after having been fertilized by experience and meditation; its acquisitions are the gems of its production.
Buffon, Georges-Louis Leclerc

7.
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

8.
A line will take us hours maybe; Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought, our stitching and unstinting has been naught.
Yeats, William Butler

9.
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

10.
Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.
Land, Edwin H.

11.
Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

12.
It seems that the creative faculty and the critical faculty cannot exist together in their highest perfection.
Maugham, W. Somerset

13.
The essential part of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
Land, Edwin H.

14.
Every time we say, "Let there be!" in any form, something happens.
Stella Terrill Mann

15.
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

16.
The creative urge is the demon that will not accept anything second rate.
Mille, Agnes De

17.
That which builds is better than that which is built.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.
It is wise to learn; it is God-like to create.
Saxe, John

19.
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

20.
Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.
Frank Thomas

21.
When all is said and done, monotony may after all be the best condition for creation.
Sackville, Margaret

22.
Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
George Lois

23.
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

24.
The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

25.
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

26.
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

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

28.
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

29.
Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
Cook, Mary Lou

30.
We try not to have ideas, preferring accidents. To create, you must empty yourself of every artistic thought.
George, Gilbert

31.
Frugality without creativity is deprivation.
Amy Dacyczyn

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

33.
Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Koestler, Arthur

34.
I started concentrating so hard on my vision that I lost sight.
Robin Green

35.
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

36.
Genius is initiative on fire.
Jackson, George Holbrook

37.
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

38.
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
Sting

39.
A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.
Jampolsky, Gerald G.

40.
Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies.
Fromm, Erich

41.
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

42.
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

43.
Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem.
Aldiss, Brian

44.
The things we fear most in organizations -- fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances -- are the primary sources of creativity.
Wheatley, Margaret J.

45.
Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know. Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.
Kneller, George

46.
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

47.
The chief enemy of creativity is good taste.
Picasso, Pablo

48.
Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.
Persius

49.
Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an after-life.
Stassinopoulos, Arianna

50.
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.
Bennett, Arnold
