“Being inexhaustible, life and nature are a constant stimulus for a creative mind.”

“Poincaré's mind was not subject to hysteresis or hibernation. He had the unique faculty of dismissing an idea from his mind, the instant the stimulus was gone, and to supplant it immediately with another creative idea.”

“Life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community.”

“Reverence for life is an inexhaustible energy source for a meaningful and happy life.”

“To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”

“Those who wish, in the interest of morality, to reduce Leonardo, that inexhaustible source of creative power, to a neutral or sexless agency, have a strange idea of doing service to his reputation.”

“I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.”

“Nature is, and must be the fountain which alone is inexhaustible; and from which all excellencies must originally flow.”

“What is creative instinct, if not an incessant living sympathy with Nature, a constant craving like that of Nature's own, to fashion something new out of all that comes within the grasp of those faculties with which Nature has endowed us? The qualities of vision, of fancy, and of imaginative power, are no more divorced from Nature, than are the qualities of common-sense and courage. They are rarer, that is all.”

“Living creatively is really important to maintain throughout your life. And living creatively doesn't mean only artistic creativity, although that's part of it. It means being yourself, not just complying with the wishes of other people.”
