“Cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music. And cooking draws upon your every talent--science, mathematics, energy, history, experience--and the more experience you have, the less likely are your experiments to end in drivel and disaster. The more you know, the more you can create.” KnowsEndsEnergyCreativityCreativeTalentActivityDrawsMathematicsCookingWoodsDrawingDisasterExperimentsImaginativeCarvingDrivel Author:Julia Child

“The great enemy of creativity is fear. When we're fearful, we freeze up - like a nine-year-old who won't draw pictures, for fear everybody will laugh. Creativity has a lot to do with a willingness to take risks. Think about how children play. They run around the playground, they trip, they fall, they get up and run some more. They believe everything will be all right. They feel capable; they let go. Good businesspeople behave in a similar way: they lose $15 million, gain $20 million, lose $30 million and earn it back. If that isn't playing, I don't know what is!” IfsThinkingKnowsWayFeelsYearsBelieveChildrenPlayRunningFallFearLosesEnemyCreativityMillionsLaughingRiskLetting GoCapableDrawsGainsNineGet UpBehaveWillingnessFearfulFreezePlaygroundsNine YearsGood BusinessChildren Playing Author:Faith Ringgold

“Simply according artistic works the same protection as nonartistic works may not be sufficient to protect creativity. After all, the very essence of artistic expression is invention and artists necessarily draw on their own experience.

“Usually when I draw, I try to be in a contemplative mood. I try to keep my mind as empty, vacant and tranquil as possible. The outer mind is like the surface of the sea. On the surface, the sea is full of waves and surges; it is all restlessness.
