Creativity And Innovation Quotes by Marian Diamond, Steve Jobs, Andy Warhol, William Pollard, Pearl S. Buck, Erich Fromm and many others.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Invention strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory; nothing can come from nothing.
Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.
Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.
You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
