“Women's art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.” WellsArtEnergyCommunityWorkCreativeSolitudeHungerBoundariesEnormousExplosionsBurstingCreative Energy Author:Adrienne Rich
“We call it EPCOT, spelled E-P-C-O-T: Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Here it is in larger scale. EPCOT will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing and testing and demonstrating new materials and systems. And EPCOT will always be a showcase to the world for the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise.” WorldIdeasCommunityImaginationTechnologyCreativeMaterialsIndustryTomorrowEnterpriseIntroducingNew IdeasTestingEmergingIngenuityNew TechnologyFree EnterpriseDemonstratingPrototypeShowcaseEpcot Author:Walt Disney
“All artists, they say, are a little mad. This madness is, to a certain extent, a self-created myth designed to keep the generality away from the phenomenally close-knit creative community.

“The only way we'll have real pride is when we demand recognition of a culture that isn't just sexual. It's all there--all throughhistory we've been there; but we have to claim it, and identify who was in it, and articulate what's in our minds and hearts and all our creative contributions to this earth. And until we do that, and until we organise ourselves block by neighborhood by city by state into a united visible community that fights back, we're doomed.” WayMindHeartRealStatesEarthCultureFightingCommunityUnitedCitiesCreativePrideDemandClaimsBlockRecognitionContributionVisibleNeighborhoodDoomedHomosexualityHeart And Mind Book:The Normal Heart and The Destiny of Me: Two Plays Source: The Normal Heart and The Destiny of Me: Two Plays
“It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential-in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities-we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative.” PeopleThinkingWayNeedsGivingSaidTwoSchoolTurnsRealizingCommunityCreativeKeysTrainingResourcesOrganizationReleaseOne WayLocksBe CreativeOur Community Author:Ken Robinson
“Creative energy manifests in the 'aura' of the environment - the distinct atmosphere, quality and 'air of the place.' It has a contagious effect on people. When we walk into the environment, we know immediately whether or not the energy is present.

“If you take psychedelics and the Internet and music and put all of that together you have the basis for a new community that is wider and deeper than you know.

“Non-violent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored... I am not afraid of the word tension.
