Creative activity QUOTES

1 " The truth is that creative activity is one that involves the entire self - our emotions, our levels of energy, our characters, and our minds. "

― Robert Greene , Mastery

2 " I believe that true identity is found . . . in creative activity springing from within. It is found, paradoxically, when one loses oneself. Woman can best refind herself in some kind of creative activity of her own. "

― Anne Morrow Lindbergh

3 " Store speculates:
Some creative people… of predominantly schizoid or depressive temperaments... use their creative capacities in a defensive way. If creative work protects a man from mental illness, it is a small wonder that he pursues it with avidity. The schizoid state... Is characterized by a sense of meaninglessness and futility. For most people, interaction with others provides most of what they require to find meaning and significance in life. For the schizoid person, however, this is not the case. Creative activity is a particularly apt way to express himself... The activity is solitary... [but] the ability to create and the productions which result from such ability are generally regarded as possessing value by our society. "

― Sylvia Nasar

4 " To have the sense of creative activity is the great happiness and the great proof of being alive. "

― Matthew Arnold
