wow, a quote from Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter!

Oh, i'm just j/k, Anne!

i'll look for some quotes tonight.

Aye, for the game of creating, my brethren, there is needed a holy Yea unto life.

We can destroy only as creators.

Whoever must be a creator always annihilates...

I taught them to redeem by creating.

But some day,... the redeeming man of great love and contempt, the creative spirit whose compelling strength will not let him rest. . . he may bring home the redemption of this reality. . . this Antichrist and anti-nihilist,...- he must come one day!    

...what is good and evil no one knows yet, unless it be he who creates.   He, however, creates man's goal and gives the earth its meaning and its future. That anything at all is good and evil--that is his creation.

--Nietzsche



Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind.

--Buddha



Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all
human endeavor and human creations.

--Einstein


The especially creative person is precisely he whose personality tensions are especially susceptible to adjustment; he is more sensitive and suffers more, but he enjoys greater possibilities.

--Rollo May


The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

--Carl Jung   (a very astute observation, Carl!)


The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.

--John W. Gardner


The creative person is willing to live with ambiguity. He doesn't need problems solved immediately and can afford to wait for the right ideas.

--Abe Tannenbaum


The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

--Charles Dikens  (oh jeez!)


The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.

--Antony Jay


Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don't let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.

--R. I. Fitzhenry


There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.

--Edward de Bono

Here's one I came across:-

All larger organisms, including ourselves, are living testimonies to the fact that destructive practices do not work in the long run. In the end, the aggressors always destroy themselves, making way for others who know how to cooperate and get along. Life is much less a competitive struggle for survival than a triumph of cooperation and creativity.
