Imagination

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

~Albert Einstein

If you're having difficulty

If you're having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down. For me, slowing down has been a tremendous source of creativity. It has allowed me to open up -- to know that there's life under the earth and that I have to let it come through me in a new way. Creativity exists in the present moment. You can't find it anywhere else.

-- Natalie Goldberg

Ideas

Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.

~John Steinbeck

I can't understand

I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

~John Cage

Don't worry

Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.

~Howard Aiken
