Creative Thinking Quotes (page 3)

[on the success of Fifty Shades of Grey]"Just think how many books I could've sold if Harry had been a bit more creative with his wand. J. K. Rowling
And that's what innocence is. It's simple and trusting like a child, not judgmental and committed to one narrow point of view.

That now is the creative point of life. So you see its like the idea of forgiving somebody, you change the meaning of the past by doing that...Also watch the flow of music. The melody as its expressed is changed by notes that come later. Just as the meaning of a sentence...you wait till later to find out what the... Alan Watts
I think it's a shame that something as creative and vital to the nature of the human species as story-telling is largely controlled by the soulless cretins known as publishers. Piers Anthony
If there are still honest-smart men and women within those old and noble traditions, they should think carefully, observe and diagnose the illness. They should face the contradiction. Discuss the conflation. And then do as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and many others have done. Choose the miracle of creative competition over an idolatry of cash. They should stand up.. David Brin
He destroyed in her the knowing, doubting, sophisticated Ella, and again and again he put her intelligence to sleep, and with her willing connivance, so that she floated darkly on her love for him, on her naivety, which is another word for a spontaneous creative faith. And when his own distrust of himself destroyed this woman-in-love, so that she began thinking, she would fight to return to naivety. Doris Lessing
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "Some might think that the creativity, imagination, and flights..."
Some might think that the creativity, imagination, and flights of fancy that give my life meaning are insanity. Vladimir Nabokov
Robert Morgan quote: "I don't think the creative writing industry has helped..."
I don't think the creative writing industry has helped American poetry. Robert Morgan
I don't think American poetry has gotten any better in the past 35 years. Oddly enough, creative writing programs seem to have been good for fiction, and I would not have predicted that. Robert Morgan
Rhona Mitra quote: "I don't think I'm particularly sexual, no more than anyone..."
I don't think I'm particularly sexual, no more than anyone else, though I am very creative. Rhona Mitra
Their argument, and I think it's a correct one, is that they'll make more money from the trades and the hardcovers if nobody messes with the creative team. Mark Millar
I watch people who are not driven by creativity any more, and I think how dull it must be to produce the same kind of thing. If you don't feel you're reaching something new, then don't do it. George Michael
