“It’s interesting that most gadgets are called ‘iPhone’ and ‘iPod,’ with that ‘i’ prefix, which is ego. But most creativity is not ego-led – a lot of it comes from the unconscious. So if you’re always checking your email or updating your Instagram profile, you’re not just looking out the window, daydreaming. You’ve got to let the subconscious in – that’s my main message to the world.” IfsWorldInterestingCreativityEgoMessagesWindowUnconsciousSubconsciousEmailInstagramDaydreamingProfileIphoneIpodsGadgets Author:Jarvis Cocker
“To create one must be able to respond. Creativity is the ability to respond to all that goes on around us, to choose from the hundreds of possibilities of though, feeling, action, and reaction and to put these together in a unique response, expression or message that carries moment, passion and meaning. In this sense, loss of our creative milieu means finding ourselves limited to only one choice, divested of, suppressing, or cendoring feelings and thoughts, not acting, not saying, doing, or being.” MeanMomentsFeelingsAbleActionTogetherChoicesPassionLossAbilityActingCreativityCreativePossibilityExpressionGoes OnFindingsMessagesUniqueResponseReactionsCarrieSuppressingMilieuAction And Reaction Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“A friend of mine helped me find my confidence by trusting the knowledge that I was not alone in writing my first book. She helped me wake up to the fact that I had a source of creativity that was my true creative nature and when I embraced it and asked for this presence in my life, I felt as if the dam of the Niagra Falls had burst and all sorts of wonderful things started to happen when I found my voice. It has been a process ever since and I am now a big advocate in the message that we are not alone and we all have ample creativity within us if we just trust it.” IfsWritingFirstsHas BeensBookFactsBigsHappensFallFoundFeltProcessVoiceCreativityCreativeWonderfulMinesSourceMessagesWake UpWonderful ThingsNot AloneDams Author:Agapi Stassinopoulos

“It would be the death of all creativity for me if I had to sit there and be concerned with the sensibilities of a fourteen-year-old kid. Some fourteen-year-olds would revel in the book, and some would be very sensitive to it, so you can't afford to worry about that. What I worry about is good taste and getting my message across by whatever means I can.” IfsYearsMeanI CanBookWould BeKidsCreativityWorryTasteMessagesConcernedSensitiveSensibilityFourteenGood Taste Author:Robert Cormier
