Quote

The society based on production is only productive, not creative.

Creativity has more to do with the elimination of the inessential than with inventing something new.

Creativity seldom thrives in an atmosphere of great discipline or scrutiny. That's one reason we tend not to want our leaders to get too creative.

Can anybody be given a great degree of creativity? No. They can be given the equipment to develop it-if they have it in them in the first place.

Creativity is every company's first driver. It's where everything starts, where energy and forward motion originate. Without that first charge of creativity, nothing else can take place.

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.

Trying to force creativity is never good.

There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.

Creativity can only be anarchic, capitalist, Darwinian.

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.
