“Very few people are accepted as creative: A few painters, a few poets - one in a million. This is foolish! Every human being is a born creator. Watch children and you will see: all children are creative. By and by, we destroy their creativity.” PeopleHumansChildrenBornHuman BeingsWatchesCreativityMillionsCreativePoetCreatorAcceptedFoolishPainterOne In A Million Author:Rajneesh
“I wrote a number of poems about Kah Tai lagoon, when Safeway was building that huge, ugly store down there where I used to love to watch the birds nest. That political poem, or environmental poem, was unsuccessful because Safeway built there anyway. And yet the poem has something to say today, as it did then. And I speak here only of my own poems. The agenda for every poet has to be different because most of us write from direct human experience in the world.” WorldWritingHumansDifferentTodayPoliticalUsedSpeakMy OwnNumbersWatchesBuildingPoetHugeBirdBuiltDirectEnvironmentalUglyStoresAgendasHuman ExperienceNestsUnsuccessfulUsed To LoveLagoons Author:Sam Hamill

“Backlock, a poet blind from his birth, could describe visual objects with accuracy; Professor Sanderson, who was also blind, gave excellent lectures on color, and taught others the theory of ideas which they had and he had not. In the social sphere these gifted ones are mostly women; they can watch a world which they never saw, and estimate forces of which they have only heard. We call it intuition.” WorldIdeasForceSocialWatchesSawsHeardObjectsTaughtColorPoetTheoryBirthBlindIntuitionExcellentVisualsProfessorsSpheresGiftedLecturesAccuracy Author:Thomas Hardy
