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.

It is in creating that you
establish true independence.

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.

Pinkola Estes
I was interested in - perhaps
qualified to do - only one kind of project

that mattered, a funny statement on a vital issue, a small but painful
bullet in the posterior of an odious power structure.

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

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.

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