#Creativity

"Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality."

"Non-judgment quiets the internal dialogue, and this opens once again the doorway to creativity."

"Begin to read, write and think."

"A good traveller is one who knows how to travel with the mind."

"Admittedly, art is somewhat like spit. It does not repulse or even worry is while it is still inside of us, but once it exits our body, it becomes disgusting."

"The neural processes underlying that which we call creativity have nothing to do with rationality. That is to say, if we look at how the brain generates creativity, we will see that it is not a rational process at all; creativity is not born out of reasoning."

"All our knowledge has its origin in our perceptions"

"I think a lot of psychopaths are just geniuses who drove so fast that they lost control."

"I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few."

"I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard."

"Anxiety is the handmaiden of creativity"

"Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action."

"Dance above the surface of the world. Let your thoughts lift you into creativity that is not hampered by opinion."

"Creating a better futureRequires creativity in the present."

"The best of humanity's recorded history is a creative balance between horrors endured and victories achieved, and so it was during the Harlem Renaissance."

"Create your own path.Don't blindly follow the massess... because most of the time the "M"is silent."

"We must be careful not to discourage our twelve-year-olds by making them waste the best years of their lives preparing for examinations."

"Is being burnt a requisite for the making of art? Personally, I don't think it is. But art is poultice for a burn. It is a privilege to have, somewhere within you, a capacity for making something speak from your own seared experience."

"Marijuana enhances our mind in a way that enables us to take a different perspective from 'high up', to see and evaluate our own lives and the lives of others in a privileged way. Maybe this euphoric and elevating feeling of the ability to step outsidethe box and to look at life’s patterns from this high perspective is the inspiration behind the slang term “high” itself."

"Human resources are like natural resources; they're often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they're not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves."
