“A man who is morally clean, other things being equal, has in every instance, greater agility, greater capacity, and greater endurance by far than the man who is not. While the latter is wasting his creative energies in useless pleasures, as well as in disease producing habits, the former is turning all of his creative energy into ability and genius, and the result is evident.” MenWellsEnergyAbilityPleasureResultsCreativeGreaterHe ManGeniusHabitEqualDiseaseCapacityCleanInstanceFormerUselessLatterEnduranceEvidentAgilityBeing EqualCreative Energy Author:Christian D.

“It seemed to me that I now saw the Star Maker in two aspects: as the spirit's particular creative mood that had given rise to me, the cosmos; and also, most dreadfully, as something incomparably greater than creativity, namely as the eternally achieved perfection of the absolute spirit. Barren, barren and trivial are these words. But not barren the experience.” TwoSpiritGivenStarsCreativityCreativeSawsGreaterParticularAspectPerfectionAbsolutesMoodCosmosMakersBarren Author:Olaf Stapledon
“Every culture, if its natural development is not too much affected by political restrictions, experiences a perpetual renewal of the formative urge, and out of that comes an ever growing diversity of creative activity.

“The man of frank and strong prejudices, far from being a political and social menace and an obstacle in the path of progress, is often a benign character and helpful citizen. The chance is far greater, furthermore, that he will be more creative than the man who can never come to more than a few gingerly held conclusions, or who thinks that all ideas should be received with equal hospitality.

“Within the yogic philosophy, the edge is considered to be my creative teacher from whom I can learn about myself.

“The genuinely significant creation, whether an idea, or a work of art, or a scientific discovery, is most likely to be seen at first as erroneous, bad, or foolish. Later it may be seen as obvious, something self-evident to all. Only still later does it receive its final evaluation as a creative contribution. It seems clear no contemporary mortal can satisfactorily evaluate a creative product at the time it is formed, and this statement is increasingly true the greater the novelty of the creation.” FirstsMayDoeArtStillsIdeasSelfSeemsCreativeClearGreaterCreationProductsDiscoveryFinalsObviousFoolishSignificantStatementsContemporaryMortalsContributionWorks Of ArtEvidentNoveltyEvaluateEvaluationScientific Discovery Author:Carl Rogers

“Originality and creativity are nothing but the result of the wise management of combinations. The creative genius combines more rapidly, and with a greater critical sense of what gets tossed out and what gets saved, the same material that the failed genius has to work with.” ResultsCreativityCreativeGreaterWiseMaterialsGeniusManagementCriticalSavedCombinationOriginalityCreative Genius Author:Umberto Eco
