An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an originals motivated be necessity. It is marvelous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human.
Man Ray

And I have to credit David Jacobs with the opportunities he gave me. He was totally into sharing the creation of characters. David put together a show that told the story of people over many years' time and that was greatly enjoyable. Though nowadays that is frowned upon.
William Devane

Robert Burns

Art is magic... But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic.
Hans Hofmann

Giorgio Vasari

Brian Ferneyhough

As you see, I do not treat the creation of fiction, that to say the invention and development of fantasies, as a form of abstract thought. I dont wish to deny the uses of the intellect, but sometimes one has the intuition that the intellect by itself will lead one nowhere.
J. M. Coetzee

At first, I am giving energy to the creation, but later the creation seems to be giving energy to me.
Robert Fritz

Henry Miller

Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.
Robert Bridges

Walter Lang

Body experience... is the centre of creation.
Barbara Hepworth

Books choose their authors; the act of creation is not entirely a rational and conscious one.
Salman Rushdie

But in its final creation it was not the part of the Father's power to fail as though exhausted. It was not the part of His wisdom to waver in a needful matter through poverty of counsel.
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

But really important, perhaps most important is the craft; how you make your record, the creation of these sonic worlds you want your listener to hear.
Duncan Sheik

But we know that the very God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. And sometimes we're called upon to defend both life and liberty - God's blessings to Americans, and indeed, to all of His creation.
Sonny Perdue
