Motivational Quotes

Creativity

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
Creativity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Creativity

1.
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

2.
Genius is initiative on fire.
Jackson, George Holbrook

3.
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
Sting

4.
Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies.
Fromm, Erich

5.
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

6.
We try not to have ideas, preferring accidents. To create, you must empty yourself of every artistic thought.
George, Gilbert

7.
Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Koestler, Arthur

8.
Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.
Persius

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
To create something you must be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

14.
True creativity often starts where language ends.
Koestler, Arthur

15.
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.

16.
The essential part of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
Land, Edwin H.

17.
It is wise to learn; it is God-like to create.
Saxe, John

18.
The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

19.
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

20.
It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.
Caesar, Julius

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
I started concentrating so hard on my vision that I lost sight.
Robin Green

25.
One of the greatest necessities in America is to discover creative solitude.
Sandburg, Carl

26.
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

27.
Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
Cook, Mary Lou

28.
That which builds is better than that which is built.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
George Lois

30.
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

31.
Had I been present at the creation of the world I would have proposed some improvements.
Alfonso X

32.
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

33.
The legs are the wheels of creativity.
Einstein, Albert

34.
Creation is a drug I can't do without.
Mille, Cecil B. De

35.
A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.
Jampolsky, Gerald G.

36.
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

37.
Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.
Cecil B. DeMille

38.
The creative urge is the demon that will not accept anything second rate.
Mille, Agnes De

39.
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

40.
Creativity is a highfalutin word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday.
Kroc, Ray

41.
When all is said and done, monotony may after all be the best condition for creation.
Sackville, Margaret

42.
An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an originals motivated be necessity. It is marvelous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human.
Ray, Man

43.
Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.
Frank Thomas

44.
Humanity can be quite cold to those whose eyes see the world differently.
Eric A. Burns

45.
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

46.
Americans worship creativity the way they worship physical beauty -- as a way of enjoying elitism without guilt: God did it.
King, Florence

47.
The things we fear most in organizations -- fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances -- are the primary sources of creativity.
Wheatley, Margaret J.

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
