Famous Quotes & Sayings

Rajneesh

God is the source of all creativity. You can be creative only when you are EN RAPPORT with God.

Rajneesh

First, meditation, and then out of meditation comes creativity of its own accord.

Rajneesh

Creativity means you have to disappear, you have to allow God to be.

Rajneesh

Rajneesh

Rajneesh

All the religions of the world say God is the creator. If he is really the creator, then the only way to meet him will be to become a creator in some measure.

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.

Rajneesh

Life in itself is an empty canvas; it becomes whatsoever you paint on it. You can paint misery, you can paint bliss. This freedom is your glory.

Theodore Roosevelt

The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.

Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes.

Margaret Mead

To the extent a person makes, invents or thinks something that is new to him, he may be said to have performed a creative act.

Margaret Mead

The prophet who fails to present a bearable alternative and yet preaches doom is part of the trap that he postulates. Not only does he picture us caught in a tremendous man-made or God-made trap from which there is no escape, but we must also listen to him day in, day out, describe how the trap is inexorably closing. To such prophecies the human race, as presently bred and educated and situated, is incapable of listening. So some dance and some immolate themselves as human torches; some take drugs and some artists spill their creativity in sets of randomly placed dots on a white ground.

Margaret J. Wheatley

When error holds so much power, play disappears. Creativity ceases.

Marcus Buckingham

James Altucher

Only free time, imagination, creativity, and an ability to disappear will help you deliver value that nobody ever delivered before in the history of mankind.

Jacques Maritain

Poetic experience is distinct in nature from mystical experience. Because poetry emanates from the free creativity of the spirit,it is from the very start oriented toward expression, and terminates in a word proffered, it wants to speak; whereas mystical because it emanates from the deepest longing of the spirit bent on knowing, tends of itself toward silence and internal fruition. Poetic experience is busy with the created world and the enigmatic and innumerable relations of existents with one another, not with the Principle of Being.

Jacque Fresco

Creativity is taking known elements and putting them together in unique ways
