Creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom!
Reading supplies bread for imagination to feed on and bones for it to chew on.
It's much easier to tame a wild idea than invigorate one that has no life in the first place.
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.
Worry is essentially a misuse of imagination.
