Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.
George Washington Carver

For those who seek to understand it, death is a highly creative force. The highest spiritual values of life can originate from the thought and study of death.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see - or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.
Alice Walker

Creative people don't behave very well generally. If you're looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you're gonna be depressed real fast. I don't have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She's my first priority.
Jim Carrey

Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature. Everything is organic and living, and therefore the whole world appears to be a living organism.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.
Josef Albers

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.
Denis Waitley

Literature - creative literature - unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.
Gertrude Stein

Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.
Alfred Adler

The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
Alexander Pope

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.
Barry Goldwater

A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.
Richard Branson

Reason is a harmonising, controlling force rather than a creative one.
Bertrand Russell

A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.
Gerald Jampolsky

Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
George Santayana

The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.
Susan Sontag

I worked very hard on those movies but there was some creative connection that wasn't being made.
Michael J. Fox

Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.
Berenice Abbott

The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.
Carl Rogers

It can become an exercise in trying to get the reader to like and admire you instead of an exercise in creative art.
David Foster Wallace
