Rejoice in the creative spirit you share with these artists in all fields,
from the present and the past, as they offer inspiration, how-to suggestions,
and a few warnings.
If for any given time only
a certain sort of work resonates with life, then that is the work you
need to be doing in that moment. If you try to do some other work, you
will miss your moment.

The art of being impossible
consists of persuading people that your unfailing capacity in one respect
is inseparable from your total unreliability in all other respects.
................................................... Stephen Spender
I've learned from showing
my work and life that most people have creative urges and I guess my
real job as an artist is to move people to be creative.
................................................... David Hinnebusch
A creative person has to
overcome the fear of being in error, of being laughed at, of public
opinion. One who wants to be creative has to be courageous enough to
be a fool, because all daring in the beginning is foolish.
..................................... ... Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
I don't think it's good to
be precocious in high school, because the very chaps who were aren't
writing any more.
....................................................... Paddy Chayefsky
One has to have the patience
and the strength to resist the immediate satisfaction of false food
- false work.

The function of the overwhelming
majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small
fraction of your artwork that soars.

Creative thinking may mean
simply the realization that there's no particular virtue in doing things
the way they always have been done.

Flesch
Details are all that matters;
God dwells there, and you never get to see Him if you don't struggle
to get them right.
......................................................... Stephen Jay
Gould
If you take your time seriously,
if you understand that time cannot be replaced, you will have taken
one of the most important steps of all toward a successful life.

In anything at all, perfection
is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but
when there is no longer anything to take away.
.......................................... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When in doubt, make a fool
of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly
creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the
hell, leap.

Heimel
Effective searching procedures
become, when the search-space is sufficiently large, indistinguishable
from true creativity. ..........................................................Richard
Dawkins
Creativity always involves
an interplay between id and ego, strange and familiar, remote and proximate,
universal and particular, abstract and concrete.
................................................................Sam
Keen
The creative impulse is one
thing; creation another.........How is emotion to be kept at white heat
through the long, cold days of formal construction?

Clive Bell

coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent
opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult
intelligence.
