A quote often says more than an entire essay. It’s a morsel, rich with perspective, cutting through all the fluff. For this reason, we’re bringing our July series to a close with five favorite quotes on creativity.
“A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.” -Frank Capra
“It is better to create than to be learned, creating is the true essence of life.”
-Barthold Georg Niebuhr
“The writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master—something that at times strangely wills and works for itself.” -Charlotte Bronte
“Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.” -Erich Fromm
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” -Maya Angelou
Something for You
It’s hard to beat a cup of Starbucks brew (cold brew, that is — my new favorite!) so simply share your favorite quote from above in the comment section below. Your name will be included in the random drawing taking place this Friday morning for a Starbucks gift card. A cup of coffee or tea is waiting to be handcrafted just for you by your local barista.
Three is my favorite quote. I know my writing has a will of its own. And that it is a gift from above.
Great choice, Marsha! Do you have a blog? I'd love to visit if so. 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
The Capra quote. I need to start trusting my hunches!
I'm with you, Susan. That particular quote reminded me that hunches are there for a reason. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment!
