My principal creative pursuit is so solitary, that to be my age and have a legitimate second career in a collaborative environment is a gratification I never expected.
John Irving | Creative pursuit, Solitude
The desire to create continually is vulgar and betrays jealousy, envy, ambition. If one is something one really does not need to make anything –and one nonetheless does very much. There exists above the ”productive” man a yet higher species.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Creativity, Desire
All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Creativity
Every man’s work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.
Samuel Butler – Creativity, Work
As you access more creativity, you are evolving. On the other hand, if you try to use old solutions to solve new problems, your evolution will slow down.
Deepak Chopra – Creativity
To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.

Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right or better.
