#Creativity

"What keeps life fascinating is the constant creativity of the soul."

"Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning."

"Who’s to say what a ‘literary life’ is? As long as you are writing often, and writing well, you don’t need to be hanging-out in libraries all the time. Nightclubs are great literary research centers. So is Ibiza!"

"When the creative impulse sweeps over you, grab it. You grab it and honor it and use it, because momentum is a rare gift."

"Creativity is a flower of love and a light that is eager to enlighten others."

"Anymore, no one's mind is their own."

"The inner fire is the most important thing mankind possesses."

"Anything creative requires a bit of acting,and filling in blanks with imagination."

"Language is the mother, not the handmaiden, of thought; words will tell you things you never thought or felt before."

"There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time."

"Solitude is the soil in which genius is planted, creativity grows, and legends bloom; faith in oneself is the rain that cultivates a hero to endure the storm, and bare the genesis of a new world, a new forest."

"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."

"Every human being has divinity encased within its spirit and it is the task of its creator as well as itself to set it free. No human being is an end product, every being still breathing is a creation still under creation."

"I never made one of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking"

"And what is wrong with playing with words? Words love to be played with, just like children or kittens do!"

"It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it."

"The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity."

"Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature – all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you’ll find out how big a prize you’ve won."

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

"Every man has a specific skill, whether it is discovered or not, that more readily and naturally comes to him than it would to another, and his own should be sought and polished. He excels best in his niche - originality loses its authenticity in one's efforts to obtain originality."
