Quote

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

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.

Of course creativity is a mystery. We don't know what drives it or what constitutes it. It's one of those things, like genius, you know it when you see it but it's impossible to define.

The nature of creativity is to make space for things to happen... We can drive it out with our busyness and plans.

For most people, creativity is a serious business. They forget the telling phrase 'the play of ideas' and think that they need to knuckle down and work more. Often, the reverse is true. They need to play.

A lot of people forget how important it is to be creative. We get caught up in getting ahead and in day-to-day minutiae. But creativity is a fundamental mode of expression, as is being tenacious and standing by your own convictions and passions, even if it's not the 'popular' choice.

Creativity is how we cope with creation. While creation sometimes seems a bit un-graspable, or even pointless, creativity is always meaningful.

The thing that makes a creative person is to be creative and that is all there is to it.

Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.
