What's In It For Us?
The Top Reasons to be a Creative Person

It isn't any fun for me unless it's real stretch, a real uphill climb, unless I'm doing something that I don't think can be done.
........................................................... Robert Altman

To be satisfactory, the problem must be for him who employs it a goad and a limitation. A goad that calls forth all his energies: a limitation that focuses them on some object far more precise and comprehensible than the expression of a vague sensibility.
.................................................................... Clive Bell

It is in creating that you establish true independence.
........................................................................ Werner Erhard

I'm attracted to people whose creative force is strong. Sometimes I'm more interested in the process that guided them than in the actual content of their work. These are people to pay attention to.
............................................................. Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I was interested in - perhaps qualified to do - only one kind of project…it had to be about something that mattered, a funny statement on a vital issue, a small but painful bullet in the posterior of an odious power structure.
............................................................... Tony Hendra

The object, which is back of every true work of art, is the attainment of a state of being, a state of high functioning, a more than ordinary moment of existence
................................................................… Robert Henri

Although they are generally shy about claiming to have had one, engineers, often speak of "the golden moment" in order to describe the feeling - it comes rarely enough - when the scales fall from a designer's eyes and a problem's right solution is suddenly there.
................................................................... Tracy Kidder

Uncreative people cannot be blissful; at the most they can feel pleasure, gratification. Only creative people can have a pure and uncorrupted bliss.
....................................................... Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
