Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an after-life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What we have as artists is the immortalization opportunity that others don't have, because our work is lasting; it's there forever to view.
In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.
Creativity is bound up in our ability to find new ways around old problems.
Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness.
Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.
Aging is not uncomplicated. Creativity is an extraordinary help against destructive demons.
You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life.
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.
