7 THOUGHTS ON CREATIVITY
“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.”
(Chinese Proverb)
“If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.”
(Maya Angelou, poet)
“Dreams are necessary to life” (Anais Nin, writer)
“Some things have to be believed to be seen” (Ralph Hodgson, poet”
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination point to all we might yet discover and create.” (Albert Einstein, theoretical physicist)
“I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” (Picasso)
“Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.” (Anna Freud, psychologist)
