Having once found the intensity of art, nothing else that can happen in life can ever again seem as important as the creative process.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

The moment of creative impulse is what an artist gives you. You look at a Pollock, and it can't give you the tools to do a painting like that yourself, but in doing the work, Pollock shares with you the moment of creative impulse that drove him to do that work.

Patti Smith

Well, that's why smart people get tripped up with worry and fear. Worry...fear...is just a misuse of the creative imagination that has been placed in each of us. Because we are smart and creative, we imagine all the things that could happen, that might happen, that will happen if this or that happens. See what I mean?

Andy Andrews

There is in government a living impulse to extend itself indefinitely; and there is in freedom a necessity to resist that impulse.

Garet Garrett

Great things do not just happen by impulse, but as a succession of small things linked together.

Vincent Van Gogh

For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.

Vincent Van Gogh

Curiosity is the only thing that really carries through time, isn't it? The creative curiosity, I mean, which fights its way into expression?

Phyllis Bottome

The one impulse in man which cannot be erased is his impulse toward freedom, his impulse toward sanity, toward higher levels of attainment in all of his endeavors.

L. Ron Hubbard

Great ages of art come only when a widespread creative impulse meets an equally widespread impulse of sympathy . . .

Harriet Monroe

I have always argued, in a good novel, interesting things happen to interesting people.

Guy Gavriel Kay

We have creative freedom because of budgets. Ever since I have been doing low budget movies, we've really had creative freedom.

Jason Blum

Creative freedom is determined by how we behold the world. Any one of us can make new things with our perceptions that serve as doorways to the creative imagination. No one is excluded.

Shaun McNiff

For the great doesn't happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together.

Vincent Van Gogh

To be different is a negative motive, and no creative thought or created thing grows out of a negative impulse. A negative impulse is always frustrating. And to be different means ‘not like this’ and ‘not like that.’ And the ‘not like’—that’s why postmodernism, with the prefix of ‘post,’ couldn’t work. No negative impulse can work, can produce any happy creation. Only a positive one.

Eva Zeisel

[Freedom] is the greatest of political goods. I do not say freedom is the greatest of all goods: the best things come from within they are such things as creative art, and love, and thought. Such things can be helped or hindered by political conditions, but not actually produced by them; and freedom is, both in itself and in its relation to these other goods the best thing that political and economic conditions can secure.

Bertrand Russell

To me, my parents are my mom and dad, and we were able as kids to do a lot of cool things. Just being part of that family definitely brought out and cultivated the creative arts in us.
