1. Osho (Philosopher)

• “To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”

• “A creative person is one who has insight, who can see things nobody else has ever seen before, who hears things that nobody has heard before—then there is creativity.”

2. Virginia Woolf (Writer)

• “Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.”

• “It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.”

3. Pablo Picasso (Artist)

• “Everything you can imagine is real.”

• “The chief enemy of creativity is good sense.”

4. Maya Angelou (Memoirist & Poet)

• "You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have."

• “We are all creative, but by the time we are three of four years old, someone has knocked the creativity out of us. Some people shut up the kids who start to tell stories. Kids dance in their cribs, but someone will insist they sit still. By the time the creative people are ten or twelve, they want to be like everyone else.”

5. George Lois (Art Director)

• “Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.”

• “The joy of the creative process, minute by minute, hour after hour, day by day, is the sublime path to true happiness.”

6. Sylvia Plath (Poet)

• “The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”

• “You have to be able to make a real creative life for yourself, before you can expect anyone else to provide one ready made for you.”

7. George Bernard Shaw (Playwright)

• “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will.”

• “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

8. Cecil Beaton (Photographer)

• “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.”

9. Edward de Bono (Psychologist)

• “There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.”

• “We need creativity in order to break free from the temporary structures that have been set up by a particular sequence of experience.”

10. Neville Goddard (Mystic)

• “Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation.”

• “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire and then you believe it to be true. Every dream could be realized by those self-disciplined enough to believe it.”
