Quote

People put limitations on their creativity, believing they have to rely on what they know and what they have done.

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Creativity is down the tube. And people give a lot of lip service to individuality. I know they all appreciate it, but they all say they would like to do it, but they don't want to work at it, and it doesn't come out of the sky.

Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.

A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.

There's a wealth of talent that lies in all of us. All of us, including those who work in schools, must nurture creativity systematically and not kill it unwittingly.

Creativity is very selfish. Scandalously so, in fact.

The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.

Creativity is an energy. It's a precious energy, and it's something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they're a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can't be taken for granted.

The desire to be rewarded for one's creativity does not justify depriving the world in general of all or part of that creativity.
