My top 9 creative quotes to really inspire the creativity in all of us…
"There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” Edward de Bono
“Speed is absolutely key to creativity. The more time it takes to create something, the less likely you are to create something.” Patrick Stump (American musician)
“Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.” Theodore Levitt
“Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.” Charles Mingus (American jazz musician and Civil Rights activist)
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” — Mary Lou Cook
“Creativity is contagious, pass it on” Albert Einstein
“Creativity is… seeing something that doesn’t exist already. You need to find out how you can bring it into being and that way be a playmate with God.” Michele Shea
“The world is but a canvas to the imagination.” Henry David Thoreau
"All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.” Albert Camus
