"Just because the solutions of problems are not visible at any particular time does not mean that those problems will never be alleviated -- or confined to tolerable dimensions. History has a way of changing the very terms in which problems operate and of leaving them, in the end, unsolved, to be sure, yet strangely deflated of their original meaning and importance."	M. I. Abramowitz
"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."	Scott Adams
"Man's mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions."	Sri da Avabhas
"To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself."	Bernard Iddings Bell
"There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish."	Warren G. Bennis
"Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary."	Warren G. Bennis
"A man of great common sense and good taste, meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage."	Sir Walter Besant
"About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment."	Josh Billings
"A sense of curiosity is nature's original school of education."	Smiley Blanton
"Nurture an appetite for being puzzled, for being confused, indeed for being openly stupid, and that - despite what you may think - is very difficult...We all know the cliche' that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. It is also true that a lot of knowledge can be a dangerous thing as well...use your ignorance as well as your knowledge for creative means."	Lee C. Bollinger
"Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering."	Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way."	Edward de Bono
"Our American past always speaks to us with two voices: the voice of the past, and the voice of the present. We are always asking two quite different questions. Historians reading the words of John Winthrop usually ask, What did they mean to him? Citizens ask, What do they mean to us? Historians are trained to seek the original meaning; all of us want to know the present meaning."	Daniel J(oseph) Boorstin
"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things."	Ray Douglas Bradbury
"The writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master- something that at time strangely wills and works for itself."	Charlotte Bronte
"The creative impulses of man are always at war with the possessive impulses."	Van Wyck Brooks
"The only truly happy people are children and the creative minority."	Jean Caldwell
"When we are angry or depressed in our creativity, we have misplaced our power. We have allowed someone else to determine our worth, and then we are angry at being undervalued."	Julia Margaret Cameron
"It's as if we think liberation a fixed quantity, that there is only so much to go around. That an individual or community is liberated at the expense of another: When we view liberation as a scarce resource, something only a precious few of us can have, we stifle our potential, our creativity, our genius for living, learning and growing."	Andrea Canaan
"A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something."	Frank Capra
