To create
something you must be something.
-- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
1749-1832, German Poet,
Dramatist, Novelist
From things
that have happened and from things as they exist and from
all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you
make something through your invention that is not a
representation but a whole new thing truer than anything
true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it
well enough, you give it immortality. That is why you write
and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all
the reasons that no one knows?
-- Ernest Hemingway
1898-1961, American Writer
It seems safe
to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking,
does not occur with regard to problems about which the
thinker is lukewarm.
-- Mary Henle
Is not the
tremendous strength in men of the impulse to creative work
in every field precisely due to their feeling of playing a
relatively small part in the creation of living beings,
which constantly impels them to an overcompensation in
achievement?
-- Karen Horney
1885-1952, American
Psychiatrist
