The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.

It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried.

Don't be a damned ammunition wagon. Be a rifle!

The degree to which I can create relationships, which facilitate the growth of others as separate persons, is a measure of the growth I have achieved in myself.

The genuinely significant creation, whether an idea, or a work of art, or a scientific discovery, is most likely to be seen at first as erroneous, bad, or foolish. Later it may be seen as obvious, something self-evident to all. Only still later does it receive its final evaluation as a creative contribution. It seems clear no contemporary mortal can satisfactorily evaluate a creative product at the time it is formed, and this statement is increasingly true the greater the novelty of the creation.
