#creativity

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Genius, in truth, means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way.

Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.

This world is but a canvas to our imagination.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

True art is the soul's celebration of existence.

You must not let your life run in the ordinary groove; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world with the power of God in you.

Inspiration is a slender river of light flowing from the boundless ocean above.

Creativity takes courage.

Creativity is the key to each human being becoming an active participant in building the future.

Creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge, and knowledge makes you magnificent.

The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.

The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck.

In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.

A bird does not sing because it has a question; it sings because it has a song.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.

To be creative means to be in love with life.

Writing is the geometry of the soul.

There is no genius without a touch of madness.

Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.
