The enemy of fear is creativity.

Seth Godin

The enemy of creativity... is fear. We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid. A surprising insight: an enemy of fear is creativity. Acting in a creative way generates action, and action persuades the fear to lighten up.

If you are wiling to do something that might not work, you are closer to being an artist.

Rajneesh

So if you are seeking something else in the name of creativity, then drop the idea of being creative. At least consciously, deliberately, do whatsoever you want to do. Never hide behind masks. If you really want to be creative, then there is no question of money, success, prestige, respectability. Then you enjoy your activity; then each act has an intrinsic value. You dance because you like dancing; you dance because you delight in it.

Rajneesh

So the first thing to be remembered: don't confine creativity to anything in particular. A man is creative - and if he is creative, whatsoever he does, even if he walks, you can see in his walking there is creativity. Even if he sits silently and does nothing, even non-doing will be a creative act. Buddha sitting under the Bodhi Tree doing nothing is the greatest creator the world has ever known.

Rajneesh

Creativity has nothing to do with any activity in particular - with painting, poetry, dancing, singing. It has nothing to do with anything in particular.

Rajneesh

All creativity is a deep suffering, unless your creativity does not come out of the mind, but out of meditation. When it comes out of meditation, creativity is sharing the joy, sharing the blissfulness that you have. Mind has no joy - it is really a wound, very painful.

Rajneesh

When ambition enters, creativity disappears - because an ambitious man cannot be creative, because an ambitious man cannot love any activity for its own sake. While he is painting he is looking ahead; he is thinking, 'When am I going to get a Nobel Prize?' When he is writing a novel, he is looking ahead. He is always in the future - and a creative person is always in the present.

Rajneesh

My message, my key, my golden key to transform your energies, is creativity. Be more and more creative, and slowly slowly you will see a transformation happening of its own accord. Your mind will disappear, your body will have a totally different feel to it, and constantly you will remain aware that you are separate, that you are a pure witness.

Rajneesh

Creativity itself is divine. Creativity itself is godliness.

Rajneesh

In the moment of deep creativity you disappear, God again starts functioning.

Pat Schneider

When we neglect the artist in ourselves, there is a kind of mourning that goes on under the surface of our busy lives.

P. L. Travers

With the word creative we stand under a mystery. And from time to time that mystery, as if it were a sun, sends down upon one head or another, a sudden shaft of light - by grace, one feels, rather than deserving, for it always is something given, free, unsought, unexpected.

P. D. James

Creativity doesn't flourish in an atmosphere of despotism, coercion and fear.

P. J. O'Rourke

Where self-interest is suppressed, it is replaced by a burdensome system of bureaucratic control that dries up the wellsprings of initiative and creativity.

Ken Robinson

If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original

It's an outlet for me to express my creativity.

It looks like that initial response on Friday was misplaced. This lacks imagination, lacks creativity, lacks forward thinking, lacks youth.

Judith Anderson

Innovation, creativity, and enthusiasm are all linked. When you walk into a warehouse and the manager can't wait to show you what the staff has accomplished, you can feel the enthusiasm, excitement, and pride. When that energy doesn't exist, there probably isn't much innovation or creativity going on.

David Ben-Gurion
