Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives...
[and] when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living
more fully than during the rest of life.
--Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul,
life ceases to have meaning. The creative process shrivels in
the absence of continual dialogue with the soul.
And creativity is what makes life worth living.
--Marion Woodman
Creativity is not the finding of a thing,
but the making something out of it after it is found.
--James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) US poet, critic, editor, diplomat
Creativity is our true nature; blocks are an unnatural thwarting
of a process at once as normal and as miraculous as the blossoming
of a flower at the end of a slender green stem.
--Julia Cameron
In order to have a real relationship with our creativity,
we must take the time and care to cultivate it.
--Julia Cameron
Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes,
Art is knowing which ones to keep.
--Scott Adams
The principle of using interactivity as a creativity-builder
is not restricted to computer games. Once we become fully conscious
of this principle, we can find ways to become more interactive everywhere.
We can make conversations with our family and friends more interactive
than they once were. The more thoughtful our questions get to be,
the more interactive the conversations.
--Steve Chandler 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself
Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination that
swirls in the depths of the mind.
--Robert Toth
Creativity arises out of the tension between
spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks)
forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are
essential to the work of art or poem.
--Rollo May
While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy
is to allow part of us to die whether it is our spirit,
our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.
--Gilda Radner
