But if you're not prepared to get hurt like that, life can be pretty boring. I think I'm going to keep on going.” IfsThinkingKindSeemsHurtCreativityCreativeHarderSticksPreparedDisappointmentBoringBe Creative Author:Chuck Barris
“Children raised with love and compassion will be free to use their time as adults in meaningful and creative ways, rather than expressing their childhood hurts in ways that harm themselves or others.

“Our opposition will never understand the Democratic Party. Our Party is--to the unpracticed eyes of the old Republican Tories--a mysterious contraption that usually seems to be moving in a thousand directions. What they don't know is what hurts them. For all that movement in the Democratic Party is caused by the internal combustion of creative ferment, of ideas, of people vigorously committed to the proposition that change and social progress are not only to be desired; they are necessities of twentieth-century America.” PeopleKnowsIdeasSeemsEyeAmericaMovingSocialHurtPartyCreativeProgressCenturyMovementRepublicanThousandDemocraticCommittedMysteriousOppositionInternalsPropositionsTwentieth CenturyDemocratic PartyMoving InSocial ProgressCombustion Author:Hubert H.

“If you're a creative person, you'd better not read what people write about you, because if it's good it'll blow your head up and it'll force you not to take the subway and you'll start taking cabs, and you'd better stay around people, and if it's bad, it just hurts your feelings so much it discourages you.” PeopleIfsWritingPersonsFeelingsForceHurtCreativeBlowDiscouragingSubwayCabCreative PersonHeads Up Author:James McBride
“Do not take the creative process personally. At every stage, you are going to feel like it's all falling apart, like the golden egg of truth in your brain is not manifesting on the page or on set or in the edit.

“Separate out the creative act from the act of editing and execution. Make it a two-step process. First, let ideas flow and encourage EVERY idea to make it to the whiteboard. Don't criticize, judge, edit, budget, or worry. An idea on the wall can't hurt anyone, so let them rip without restriction. After any and all ideas have the opportunity to "come out to play", only then should you apply your analytical and logical side to the effort. Don't mix the creative process with the editing process or you'll kill your ideas before they even get a fighting chance.” FightingOpportunityHurtChanceEffortWorryCreativeJudgingWallLogicalCriticizeCreative ProcessRip Author:Josh Linkner
“In the 1930s, the government paid writers to interview 80- and 90-year-old former slaves, and I read those accounts.
