Pablo Picasso
“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”
Pablo Picasso

Madeleine L'Engle
“But unless we are creators we are not fully alive. What do I mean by creators? Not only artists, whose acts of creation are the obvious ones of working with paint of clay or words. Creativity is a way of living life, no matter our vocation or how we earn our living. Creativity is not limited to the arts, or having some kind of important career.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water

Scott Adams
“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.”
Scott Adams

Steve  Martin
“Despite a lack of natural ability, I did have the one element necessary to all early creativity: naïveté, that fabulous quality that keeps you from knowing just how unsuited you are for what you are about to do.”
Steve Martin, Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself.”
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein
