As in the piling up of hypothetical alternatives, creative accidents follow the law of probabilities the more we fish, the more likely we are to get a strike.

Creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom, while discouragement often nips it in the bud. Any of us will put out more and better ideas if our efforts are appreciated.

Creativity is more than mere imagination. It is imagination inseparably coupled with both intent and effort.

It is easier to tone down a wild idea than to think up a new one.

Whatever creative success I gained was due to my belief that creative power can be stepped up by effort, and that there are ways in which we can guide our creative thinking.

Creativity is the production of meaning by synthesis.

Reading supplies bread for imagination to feed on and bones for it to chew on.
