Creativity

A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove.

Man's mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

People should think things out fresh and not just accept conventional terms and the conventional way of doing things.

Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know. Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.

George Kneller

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Erich Fromm

When all think alike, then no one is thinking.

Walter Lippman

Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple.

Charles Mingus

Minds are like parachutes: they only function when open. Thomas R Dewar
