Creativity

I guess you could say I'm a philosopher, who likes to think a lot about ordinary things, then express what I think by writing, speaking, or painting.

- Robert Fulghum, cowboy, folksinger, artist, minister, teacher and author of Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

Creativity

We write to heighten our own awareness of life...We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection...We write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it, to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth...to expand our world, when we feel strangled, constricted, lonely. When I don't write I feel my world shrinking. I feel I lose my fire, my color.

- Anais Nin, The Diary of Anais Nin

We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.

- C. Day Lewis, The Poetic Image
