“In any critical situation the forward move is a creative act.”

“My view is that this Government should move forward, but in order to move forward, there is a need for very serious thinking by the leadership on the situation in the country.”

“Having good ideas is critical to the success of any creative work.”

“All creative thought and creative action is strictly personal. A committee, any collective, cannot think. It cannot act creatively. It can only act destructively. It can exercise brute force.”

“Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.”

“A creative life cannot be sustained by approval any more than it can be destroyed by criticism.”

“Freedom is not a license to act but a license to exercise free choices in any given situation.”

“Creativity is an act of defiance.”

“Critical power…tends to make an intellectual situation of which the creative power can profitably avail itself. It tends to establish an order of ideas, if not absolutely true, yet true by comparison with that which it displaces; to make the best ideas prevail.”

“Criticism at its best is re-creative, not spirit-killing.”
