“A hundred years ago, when Richard Strauss, who has already been quoted and already been heard today, and other creative people, laid the foundation stone for the joint assertion of their rights and interests, they had pioneering work ahead of them in Germany.” PeopleYearsTodayInterestCreativeRightsHeardHundredYears AgoStonesFoundationGermanyJointsAssertionCreative PeoplePioneering Author:Johannes Rau

“You may be perfect in playing the piano, and not be creative; you may play the piano most brilliantly, and not be a musician. You may be able to handle color, to put paint on canvas most cleverly, and not be a creative painter. You may create a face, an image out of a stone, because you have learned the technique, and not be a master creator. Creation comes first, not technique.” FirstsMayPlayAbleFacesPerfectCreativeCreationColorMastersMusicianStonesPaintCreatorTechniqueHandlePainterPianoCanvasBe Creative Book:The Collected Works of J.

“My favorite jewelry designer is Suzanne Belperron, a great Parisian jeweler who was known for her bold and creative use of stones.

“Be wild; that is how to clear the river. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life. It is made up of divine paradox. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.” IfsWantDoeArtMadeCreativeClearStupidDivineWillingMouthsRainFlowRiversStonesBlockManageStreamsDryParadoxThronesSpillsRubiesCreative LifeCensoringJackassesDry Up Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“It would indeed be a great delusion, if we stated that those sports of Nature [we find] enclosed in rocks are there by chance or by some vague creative power. Ah, that would be superficial indeed! In reality, those shells, which once were alive in water and are now dead and decomposed, were made thus by time not Nature; and what we now find as very hard, figured stone, was once soft mud and which received the impression of the shape of a shell, as I have frequently demonstrated.” IfsLifeMadeHardRealityWould BeScienceSportsWaterNatureChanceCreativeAliveRocksCreationShapesStonesImpressionDelusionShellsVagueSuperficialMudCreative Power Author:Agostino Scilla
