A. A. Milne
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.
|
Abe Tannenbaum
The creative person is willing to live with ambiguity. He doesn't need problems solved immediately and can afford to wait for the right ideas.
|
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Proximity to the crowd, to the majority view, spells the death of creativity. For a soul can create only when alone, and some are chosen for the flowering that takes place in the dark avenues of night.
|
Alan Alda
Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work, risking, and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful: yourself.
|
Albert Camus
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
|
Andrea Canaan
It's as if we think liberation a fixed quantity, that there is only so much to go around. That an individual or community is liberated at the expense of another: When we view liberation as a scarce resource, something only a precious few of us can have, we stifle our potential, our creativity, our genius for living, learning and growing.

I believe that none of us ever fails at anything. Every time we create something we are successful at creation. However, we do make some poor choices about what we create.

If you are going to be original, you are going to be wrong a lot.
|
Antoine De Saint-Exupery
It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
|
Antony Jay
The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.
|
Arthur Koestler
The principle mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
|
Arthur O'Shaughnessy Ode
We are the music makers.We are the dreamers of dreams,Wandering by lone sea-breakers,And sitting by desolate streams;--World-losers and world-forsakers,On whom the pale moon gleams:Yet we are the movers and shakersOf the world for ever, it seems.

Brenda Ueland
I learned...that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic striving, but it comes into us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness.
|
C. S. Lewis
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
|
Carl Jung
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.
|
Carlos Casteneda
It is important to do what you don't know how to do. It is important to see your skills as keeping you from learning what is deepest and most mysterious. If you know how to focus, unfocus. If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start chaos.
|
Charles Dickens
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
|
Charles Mingus
Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can play weird--that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple complicated is commonplace--making the complicated simple, awesomely simple--that's creativity.
|
Charles Mingus
Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.
