- You have a masterpiece inside you, too, you know. One
unlike any that has ever been created, or ever will be. And remember:
If you go to your grave without painting your masterpiece, it will not
get painted. No one else can paint it. Only you. Gordon
MacKenzie
- You can't depend on your eyes if your imagination is
out of focus. Mark Twain
- I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.
Albert Einstein
- Language is the Trojan Horse by which the universe gets
into the mind. Hugh Kenner
- I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote
some blues. Duke Ellington
- Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. Pablo
Picasso
- Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance
to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative
and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills
countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issue from
the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents,
meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would
have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness
has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
- Creativity is harnessing universality and making it
flow through your eyes. Peter Doestenbaum
- There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that
is translated through you into action, and because there is only one
of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will
never exist through any other medium. It will be lost. The world will
not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor
how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. Martha
Graham
- If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame
yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call
forth its riches; because for the creator there is no poverty and no
indifferent place. Rainer Maria Rilke
- Creativity often consists of merely turning up what
is already there. Did you know that right and left shoes were thought
up only a little more than a century ago? Bernice
Fitz-Gibbon
- Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art
is knowing which ones to keep. Scott Adams
- All prosperity begins in the mind and is dependent only
on the full use of our creative imagination. Ruth
Ross
- Live out of your imagination, not your history. Stephen
Covey
- The more I think about it, the more I realize there
is nothing more artistic than to love others. Vincent
Van Gogh
- Humor and creativity are kissing cousins. If you want
to develop your sense of humor, invite more creativity into your life--and
vice versa. In the presence of humor, new creative perspectives naturally
occur. You can't stop them. Joel Goodman
- Too much of our work amounts to the drudgery of arranging
means toward ends, mechanically placing the right foot in front of the
left and the left in front of the right, moving down narrow corridors
toward narrow goals. Play widens the halls. Work will always be with
us, and many works are worthy. But the worthiest works of all often
reflect an artful creativity that looks more like play than work. James
Ogilvy
- All the fun is locking horns with impossibilities. Claes
Oldenburg
- True creativity often starts where language ends. Arthur
Koestler
- Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
- As you begin to nourish creativity in one area of your
life, it begins to flourish in other areas. C.
Diane Ealy, Ph.D.
- We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
