The following is meant as a sampling of quotes.
My only caution with all quotes….remember they are generally out of context and may not represent the original meaning of the author/creator.
I.E.:
“I never met a man I didn’t like.”
Quoted daily by hundreds or thousands and given credit to Will Rogers, political humorist.
That was taken out of context. The complete statement was…
“I never met a man I didn’t like, until he opened his mouth.”
Creativity Quotes
“If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.”
– Abraham Sutzkever
Abraham Sutzkever is a Yiddish poet and editor who remains one of the most distinguished poets of the Holocaust. He was born in 1913 in the city of Smorogon, near Vilna, in what is today Lithuania. At a young age he joined a group of artists and poets called “Young Vilna” and had his first book of poems published in Warsaw.
At the same time
“If you lose your childhood you lose your life.”
Robert Alan Black, July 14, 2006 sparked by Sutzkever’s quote
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
Charles Darwin, scientist
“If you’re a truly creative person, you know that feeling insecure and lonely is par for the course. You can’t have it both ways: You can’t be creative, and conform too. You have to recognize that what makes you different also makes you creative.”
Arno Penzias, Noble Prize winner for physics
“Without deviation, progress is not possible.”
Frank Zappa, musician
“You have to be deviant if you’re going to do anything new.”
David Lee, producer of TV show Frasier
“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”
