“Negativity is the enemy of creativity. For instance if you're filled with depression, you can hardly even get out of bed, let alone feel like creating something. If you are filled with bitter, selfish anger, this occupies the mind and leaves little room for creative ideas.” IfsFeelsMindLittlesIdeasRoomsEnemyCreativityCreativeBedCreatingFilledSelfishBitterInstanceNegativityCreating SomethingCreative Ideas Author:David Lynch

“A part of the plan for creating discord, is, I perceive, to make me say things of others, and others of me, wch. have no foundation in truth.

“And so in 1975, the grizzly bear was put on, as I said - on the endangered species list as threatened. And new measures were taken, for instance, bear-proofing garbage, creating new regulations to - essentially to try and keep people and people's food away from the bears, let the bears adjust to eating the abundant wild food that's available in Yellowstone and allow them to be more wild, to be independent of humans as sources of foods for the good of both sides.

“There is a creative pleasure, which, for instance, the artisan in the Middle Ages, or in a country like Mexico, still today has - namely the pleasure of creating something. You find quite a few skilled workers who still have that pleasure: maybe in a steel mill; maybe a worker who works with a complicated machine - he has a sense that he is creating something.” StillsCountryAgeTodayPleasureCreativeMiddleCreatingMachinesWorkersComplicatedInstanceMexicoSteelMiddle AgesMillsCreating SomethingArtisansSkilled Workers Author:Erich Fromm
“Our agreements on creating the conditions for preparing a peace treaty [with Japan] should be rooted in this trust. This may be achieved, for example, by large-scale economic activities that will also cover the Kuril Islands. It may be achieved by solving purely humanitarian issues, for instance, unhindered visa-free travel by former residents of the Southern Kuril Islands to where they used to live: visiting cemeteries, native places and so on.” ShouldMayUsedIssuesEconomicConditionsExampleActivityCreatingHumanitarianScalesInstanceFormerIslandsNativeJapanAgreementSouthernRootedPreparingVisitingTreatiesCemeteryResidentsVisaLarge ScalePeace TreatiesNative Place Author:Vladimir Putin
“What I really like is the marriage of both [writing and acting] - for instance, with Postcards.

“It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on an autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes.” PeopleMenWritingMadeEyeTodayMovingUniverseSunWindLoversCreatingMen And WomenRedHorseForestsInstanceAutumnYellowAfternoonDeliciousMistressYellow Leaves Author:Gustave Flaubert
“I think the function of suffering is to let me know that my perception is skewed; what I’m doing is judging natural events in such a way that I am creating suffering within myself. For instance, you have pain over certain conditions, certain situations that occur. And if you just say ‘ok, here I am, I’m going to experience the pain,’ you don’t suffer. The resistance and the degree of the resistance to the natural phenomenon of life causes tremendous suffering.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayPainCertainSufferingCausesNaturalSituationConditionsEventsJudgingDegreesPerceptionCreatingLet MeFunctionResistanceInstancePhenomenonHere I AmNatural Phenomena Author:Hubert Selby, Jr.
