Creative Quotes

You want appreciation. Even though you like what's happening now doesn't mean that you still don't want appreciation or greater stimulation.

The perfect creative stance is satisfaction where I am, and eagerness for more.

Artists and creative workers - people who have accomplished work worthwhile have had a very high sense of the way to do things. They haven't been contented with mediocrity. They haven't confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others do them, but always a little better. Few are those who see with their own eyesand feel with their own hearts.
