Interesting Creativity Quotes and their Authors

"You need not possess exceptional artistic, literary, scientific, or entrepreneurial talent to consider yourself a creative person and live a creative life. It is unfortunate that the word creativity is associated too strongly with the possession of extraordinary, distinquished, and highly visible talent." -Gary A. Davis

"the development of creativity is of paramount importance for our society and the world in the twenty-first century and that education needs to play a key role in its cultivation." - Cloninger and Mengert

"There is a temptation to try to spell out a 'how to' program for cultivating creativity in the schools, but such techniques will always fall short." - Cloninger and Mengert

"To excel in creativity is not an easy task; it requires us to rethink our preexisting conceptions and biases. It requires us to consider each of the domains of our life in new ways--to understand them in light of the challenges we face in the new millennium." -Cloninger and Mengert

"...creativity is a process of having original ideas that have value. A big part of being creative is looking for new ways of doing things within whatever activity you're involved in. If you're a creative chef, for example, then your originality is going to be judged in terms of cuisine." -Sir Ken Robinson

"Really, creativity is a disciplined process that requires skill, knowledge, and control. Obviously, it also requires imagination and inspiration. But it's not simply a question of venting: It's a disciplined path of daily instruction." -Sir Ken Robinson

"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." -Sir Ken Robinson

"Instead of asking, 'How creative is this student?,' a focus on style leads us to ask, 'How is this student creative?' This lends itself to the assumption that all students have creative potential that can be identified and nurtured." -E. Selby, E. Shaw, and J. Houtz

"Focusing on individuals who are creatively productive at a high level leads to the perception that only people who in some way match the characteristics of highly creative individuals have creative potential. We do not make the same assumption about running ability. We do not expect all children to become Olympic runners, yet we expect all normally healthy children to be able to run." -E. Selby, E. Shaw, and J. Houtz

"Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives." -Csikszentmihalyi

"A central message is that we all can be more creative; we all can solve problems with more imagination." -Gary A. Davis

"To be capable of [creative insights], the individual requires freedom--freedom to explore, freedom to be himself, freedom to entertain ideas no matter how wild and to express that which is within him without fear of censure or concern about evaluation." - R. Keith Sawyer
