What about the creative state? In it a man is taken out of himself. He lets down as it were a bucket into his subconscious and draws up something which is normally beyond his reach.
–E.M. Forster
Every creative act is a sudden cessation of stupidity.
–Edwin Land
Creativity can be described as letting go of certainties.
–Gail Sheehy
Creativity is an act of defiance. You’re challenging the status quo.
-Twyla Tharp
