Lailah Gifty Akita

I’ll be blasted’, he said, ‘if I ever write another word, or try to write another word, to please Nick Greene or the Muse. Bad, good, or indifferent, I’ll write, from this day forward, to please myself

Lailah Gifty Akita

Wondering is illusion.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Done is better than none. You could have all the ideas in the world, but without execution, you will go nowhere.

Sue B. Zimmerman

The best way to get a good idea is to have a lot of ideas

Whomsoever embraces their creativity along with their individuality, embraces all possibility deep within.

You think an idea's bad but to others, it's a brilliant idea. Instead of thinking that an idea is bad, look at it differently and the final outcome of this "bad" idea will shock you. Rules should be followed. It is a tradition to know what can and can't be done. But innovation doesn't require the boundaries rules provide. It is when you stop following that you start having unexpected fun.

And at the end of your days, you can thank creativity for having blessed you with a charmed, interesting, passionate existence.

Elizabeth Gilbert

When creativity is running rampant, it is imperative that we get carried away by it never knowing what we will create or whom we will inspire!

Your creativity is way older than you are, way older than any of us. Your very body and your very being are perfectly designed to live in collaboration with inspiration, and inspiration is still trying to find you—the same way it hunted down your ancestors.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Physicists have yet to find anything capable of exceeding our known speed of light. The Tao cannot be named, and so I say there is one thing that out-paces all things: we call it “thought.” I can fill a room a with light before I’m anywhere near the switch.

Bringing a novel to light - revealing the form and cadence, shadows and demeanor of a protagonist constructed from thin air - linking scenes and synchronicity across translucent time - holding up a glass brimming with chilled, never-tasted liquid, then sipping from it with intoxicated focus - allowing lovers to make a perilous mess of things, fall apart and nakedly come back together again - looking through conjured windows deep into someone else’s snow-bound solitude, feeling utterly alone yet being all-connected: this is not writing. It’s world-creating.It’s raw, exposed dreaming. It’s humbling. At first too personal and intimate to share, it evolves like a child into a life of its own until I have no say in what comes next. It’s what I wake at 4am to say Yes to, the spinning possibility of a new story relentlessly commanding me to write it down so it can whirl in your experience.

Recovery from complete and utter exhaustion facilitates individual creativity

Phillip Gary Smith

To create is to defy emptiness. It is generous, it affirms. To make is to add to the world, not subtract from it.

According to Christ, the pathway to revelation, the heart of revival, and the fullness of the Kingdom of God is becoming child- like. Becoming dependent as children in our relationship with our heavenly Father forces us to lose our religious mindsets and protocol. Staying in a place of wonder and trust will keep us from becoming easily offended by the ways God chooses to manifest Himself in our lives.

Life in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.

Osho

Everybody is born creative, but very few people remain creative.

Osho

Point your fire like a flower.

Creation signifies, above all, emotion, and that not in literature or art alone. We all know the concentration and effort implied in scientific discovery. Genius has been defined as an infinite capacity for taking pains.

The more at ease you are in the world, the more vibrant, creative and easygoing the world in you becomes.

Those who can create, will create. Those who cannot create, will compete.

Michael F. Bruyn

Life is a lonely bussiness

I’ve been firmly grounded in reality since I was a child, and I’m still waiting for it to impress me.

Jessica Conoley

We create intellectual property on a daily basis, but all of it is not worthy of attention

Dr. Kalyan C. Kankanala

Dreaming is easy. Creativity is a lot of work.

E. Obeng-Amoako Edmonds

Genius creates from the heart and when the artifact is broken so is the heart.

Elizabeth Goudge

Life is a lonely business

Innovation is simply a holistic approach to exploring extra ordinary work to birthing products or services. Innovation is the magic!

Chidiebere Prosper Agbugba

For some strange reason I get some of my brightest ideas on the toilet seat, with my clothes on.

E. Obeng-Amoako Edmonds

Artists think along the edges of the box, because that's where things get done. That's where the audience is, that's where the means of production are available, and that's where you can make an impact.

The journey of life, creates my art!!!

Michael Judkins

I am not covetous, but as ambitious as ever any of my sex was, is, or can be; which makes, that though I cannot be Henry the Fifth, or Charles the Second, yet I endeavour to be Margaret the First; and although I have neither power, time, not occasion to conquer the world as Alexander and Caesar did; yet rather than not be mistress of one, since Fortune and Fates would give me none, I have made a world of my own; for which nobody, I hope, will blame me, since it is in everyone's power to do the like.

Margaret Cavendish

Imperfection inspires invention, imagination, creativity. It stimulates. The more I feel imperfect, the more I feel alive.

Remember first that everything you think, say, and do is a reflection of what you've decided about yourself; a statement of Who You Are; an act of creation in your deciding who you want to be.

Neale Donald Walsch

I do not take constructive criticism from people who have never constructed anything.

Things you crave for won't come if you cry, but when you craft and create. Creativity digs up the buried gold.

Israelmore Ayivor

We can all be clockmakers, or astronomers. But if we all wanted to be Pushkin. . .if the question is, how do you make a poem by Pushkin?- or, what exactly makes one poem or painting or piece of music greater than another?- or, what is beauty?, or liberty?, or virtue?- if the question is, how should we live?. . . then, reason gives no answer or different answers. So something went wrong. The divine spark in man is not reason after all, but something else, some kind of intuition or vision, perhaps like the moment of inspiration experienced by the artist . . .

Here’s something to think about: the only thing you really own is what you create. And the only thing you can create without needing someone else to give you the raw materials first… is intellectual property.You can write a book, or draw a picture, or compose some music.Everything else is borrowed. It belonged to someone else before you and it will belong to someone else after you.

Caliban Darklock

There is no straight road to finding yourself, to making something.

When people say writers spend a lot of time staring, rather than writing, do not be fooled. A writer does not blankly stare. Instead, she sees everything before her. Millions of plotting paths, endless words to choose from, and every possible outcome. Writers see their world as it is, as it could be; as it will be. And in the end make it as it should be.

Kimberlee Ann Bastian

Most Christian teachers would profess to believe that their students are made in the image of God. . .Classroom practices, however, often reveal that students are not treated accordingly. They are not challenged to think through issues and carefully examine the various positions relevant to the issue. Instead they are simply given information as correct answers to be remembered and reproduced on a test or in some other written form. Rather than create an art project that reveals something about the way they view the world, they are given specific instructions for completing each step of the project and criticized, for example, if the trees are not green. While verbally teaching Johnny that he is an important person, a teacher may employ a learning model or classroom discipline system that clearly treats him as on object to be shaped and controlled by a system. . . (p18)

Donovan L. Graham

The best way to describe your total creative capacity is to say that for all practical purposes it is infinite.

There’s no arguing with a song that writes itself.

He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology, so he built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.

Walter Isaacson

Our students sometimes use their creativity to do wrong things, and we therefore conclude that we must keep them from being creative. But evil cannot be blamed on creativity. (p31)

Donovan L. Graham

While teachers often complain that their students seem to do very little thinking, teachers who simply follow the manual should understand that they are actually contributing to the problem. Students seldom learn to think under the tutelage of teachers who do not think either.

Donovan L. Graham

Sometimes a writer simply finds new ways of saying what has already been said because, ultimately, truth is unoriginal.

Nothing kills creativity faster than a wall.

When there's no stimulus to be found on the outside, you have no option but to look inside yourself for inspiration, and when I did it set off a creativity that had always been inside of me, It mixed with my environment and life experiences to make something tangible,something that expressed me.

For every fact there is an infinity of hypotheses.The more you look the more you see.

Robert M. Pirsig

Creativity is choice-making.

The more genuinely creative [the writer] is, the more he will want his work to develop in accordance with its own nature, and to stand independent of himself

Dorothy L. Sayers

Things wabi-sabi have no need for the reassurance of status or the validation of market culture. They have no need for documentation of provenance. Wabi-sabi-ness in no way depends on knowledge of the creator's background or personality. In fact, it is best if the creator is no distinction, invisible, or anonymous.

It seems to be most leaders have more conventional wisdom, but creative leaders have better common sense.

Pearl Zhu
