10 Inspiring "Creativity" Quotes

I usually try and take inspiration from physical objects rather that a quote with just words. I feel this help me more during a task that involves creativity however after search for these 10 quotes I have found they can have a lot of meaning behind them especially when related to the people that said them. These are the ones that stood out to me and I can relate to:


Steve Jobs - "Creativity is just connecting things, when you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they really didn't do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after while"

Ken Robinson - "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original"

Leo Burnett - "Curiosity about life in all its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people"

Albert Einstein - "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources"

Erich Fromm - "Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties"

Charles Mingus - "Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity"
   
Marcel Dunchamp - "I force myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste"

Andy Warhol - "You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things"

Hernest Hemingway - "I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen"

Maya Angelou - "You can't use up creativity, the more you use, the more you have"
