The opposite of creativity is cynicism

⇛ Esa Saarinen (Philosopher)

Copy Quote Text

Philosophy is a state of fermentation a process without final outcome.

Esa Saarinen Philosopher

There are lots of people who give their all and have that inner glow on. It's a shame that majority of them are under seven years old.

Esa Saarinen Philosopher

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

Ayn Rand Novelist

Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world.

Lawrence G. Lovasik

Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.

Leo Buscaglia Author

It is always the young that make the change. You don't get these ideas when you're middle-aged. Young people have daring, creativity, imagination and personal computers. Above all, what you have as young people that's vitally needed to make social change, is impatience. You want it to happen now. There have to be enough people that say, ‘We want it now, in our lifetime.’ This is your moment. This is your opportunity. Be adventurists in the sense of being bold and daring. Be opportunists and seize this opportunity, this moment in history, to go out and save our country. It's your turn now.

Abbie Hoffman Social Activist

We have got to abandon the sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.

Abraham Maslow Psychologist

It's hard to force creativity and humor.

Al Yankovic Singer-Songwriter

Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else has ever thought.

Albert Einstein Theoretical Physicist

It is easy today to deny God's creativity as a thing of the benighted past, overcome by science, but man's creativity, a thing much more improbable and nothing but an imitation of God's, exercises a strange attraction.

Allan Bloom Philosopher
