A few words of wisdom 
for the creatively inclined . . .

(from smarter people than myself, I might add)


 

Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born every day; to feel a sense of self.

-- Erich Fromm



So you see, imagination needs moodling -- long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.

-- Brenda Ueland


Creativity can solve almost any problem.  The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.

-- George Lois


Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

-- Scott Adams

Now let's open the windows upstairs and let our music out, 
even if it's just a few notes.
