What you discover when you look at creativity from the perspective of the brain is that it is universal. We're all creative all of the time, we can't help but be creative.

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

We reserve the term 'genius' for people who are creative, who are innovators, who think in ways that are entirely new. In the Middle Ages, the term 'genius' was reserved for people with the best memories. That is telling.

The definition of genius, really, should be that that person can do what the rest of us have to learn how to do.

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

Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it.

There is nothing that human imagination can figure brilliant and enviable that human genius and skill do not aspire to realize.

Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.

Genius is a potential that lives within you and every other human being. You have many moments of genius in your lifetime. These are the times when you have a uniquely brilliant idea and implement it even if only you are aware of how fantastic it is.
