“I don't claim to be an expert on this, but I think ADD and creativity may be the same thing; it's just that they can't sell you drugs for being creative.

“Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him.

“Change isn't optional, and creation isn't something that happened a long time ago and then ended. It's ongoing, and we are invited to be a part of it. The question for us is 'what will we create in this new day?' How will we make it count? How will we nourish the things that matter, and stand in the way of injustice in the small ways that add up to the arc of history?

“I think your text [script] is everything; it's what informs you; it's what gives you the given circumstances.

“I always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically.

“Mood evidently affects the operation of System 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition. These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.” PeopleTogetherFormLosesEffortCreativityCreativeGrowingSadnessFindingsApproachEvidencePerformancesAddErrorsIntuitionMoodUnhappyOperationsUncomfortableLogicalSuspicionIntuitiveRelianceVigilanceVigilantAnalyticsClustersGullibilityGood Mood Book:Thinking, Fast and Slow Source: Thinking, Fast and Slow
