Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
SCOTT ADAMS, The Dilbert Principle
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
Creativity of all kinds, in art, in prayer, in justice-making, in human relationships, is born where people wrestle with angels, outside Eden, on the border between heaven and earth, where they struggle to create a new form, a new song, a new template, a new ethic with all the discipline and passion they can bring to bear.
KATHY GALLOWAY, introduction, Dreaming of Eden
Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
Artists know that there is no creativity without a system of formal restraints.
KATHY GALLOWAY, introduction, Dreaming of Eden
It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.
