“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are laid waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.” MenHas BeensEarthOrderGivenGrowsAnimalCreativityForeverTreeDyingBecomingWasteBirdRiversClimateDisappearBillionsForestsDestroyedLandscapeDryFewerCrashMarvelousShallowRuinedWildlifeDry Up Author:Anton Chekhov
“Creativity builds upon the public domain. The battle that we're fighting now is about whether the public domain will continue to be fed by creative works after their copyright expires. That has been our tradition but that tradition has been perverted in the last generation. We're trying to use the Constitution to reestablish what has always been taken for granted--that the public domain would grow each year with new creative work.” TryingYearsHas BeensUseLastsFightingGrowsCreativityCreativeTakenGenerationsBattleTraditionConstitutionGrantedFedsDomainCopyrightCreative WorkTaken For GrantedPublic Domain Author:Lawrence Lessig
“When we transcend we are diving into a field of unbounded creativity. This is real creativity and when we experience that and grow in that, we can more easily find solutions to problems. We can get ideas for whatever it is we're working on. And we will get happier by transcending every day and we will find that we're happier doing almost anything. We'll get more energy to do our work.” IdeasRealProblemEnergyGrowsCreativityFieldsSolutionsDivingSolution To A ProblemTranscending Author:David Lynch

“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth.But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work” IfsMindChildrenLittlesSeemsCultureGivenGrowsCreativityGreaterMaterialsTraditionEncouragementOur ChildrenEntertainmentCriticalInstruction Author:C.

“If you want to really hurt you parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” IfsWayWantWritingHumansWellsArtSoulMatterStoriesHeavenGrowsParentCan DoHurtCreativityCreativeGayRewardsSakeRadioEnormousYour SoulNervesCreative ProcessShowersBearable Author:Kurt Vonnegut
