QUOTES ON CREATIVITY
from:
Creativity is one of the most coveted traits among humans. While certain experts and philosophers agree that creative faculties are something that all of us are naturally born with, cultivating and making these characteristics grow and flourish into something that would give us the greatest benefits and value possible requires some amount of learning, effort and skill.
It is, therefore, for this reason that many people read up constantly on literature about how to boost their creativity, or awaken their 'sleeping' creative traits, or why others choose to enrol themselves in creativity molding classes and other courses that aim to boost inspiration. Creativity precedes the success of many goals achieved that people are not afraid to chase after it, even if they face some difficulty.
Here are some creativity quotes that have worked for many of us. People have attested to feeling better motivated and fired up after reading or hearing what others had to say about the subject.
J.S. Brown: "Instead of pouring knowledge into people's heads, we need to help them grind a new set of eyeglasses so that we can see the world in a new way."
Arthur C Clarke: "Someone once said that for every problem, there is a solution that is simple, attractive… and wrong."
Albert Einstein: "Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in which the problems were created."
Leonardo da Vinci: "Go some distance away because the work appears similar and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony of proportion is rapidly seen."
Anonymous: "Exhilaration is that feeling you get just after a great idea hits you and just before you realise what's wrong with it."
Mae West: "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before."
George Bernard Shaw: "You see things: you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never are: and say 'Why not?'"
Chinese proverb: "When a finger points to the moon the imbecile looks at the finger."
Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu: "As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it."
Carl Jung: "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."
Doris Lessing: "Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself."
Henri-Frederic Amiel: "Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour, springs and germinates no more."
Niels Bohr: "There are some things that are so serious you have to laugh at them."
Franklin P Jones: "Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger."
Japanese proverb: "None of us are as smart as all of us."
T.S. Eliot "Between the idea and the reality falls the shadow."
Mark Twain: "Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing through one's head."
E.M. Forster: "Think before your speak is criticism's motto; speak before you think, creation's"
Albert Einstein: "Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
Walt Disney: "If you can dream it, you can do it."
Henry David Thoreau: "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
