Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world.

Creation is not taking place now, so far as can be observed. Therefore, it was accomplished sometime in the past, if at all, and thus is inaccessible to the scientific method.
‐‐ Henry M. Morris
Creation's gold mine is in you. The key is deliberate intention. Whatever your dream may be at this moment, identify it. If you cannot define your desire, it can never become a reality.
‐‐ Mary Manin Morrissey
Creation's highest aim and most sublime result is belief in God. The most exalted rank of humanity is knowledge of God.
‐‐ Said Nursi
Creation stories, so central in the religions of the Middle East, play a surprisingly marginal part in Greek myth. The Greeks had nothing to set alongside the resounding 'In the beginning' in the book of Genesis, where one eternal God creates the universe out of nothing.
‐‐ Neil MacGregor
Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense.

Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.

‐‐ Kevin Lynch
Creative collaboration is awesome.
‐‐ Alicia Silverstone
Creative comedy is like growing geraniums in a mine field.
‐‐ Jerry Stiller
'Creative Commons' is the self-congratulatory name of a self-congratulatory movement. Somewhat like kibbutz on the Internet, the idea is to write programs - 'free ware' - and distribute them without charge.
‐‐ Mark Helprin
Creative destruction is gonna be the greatest thing that can happen to Manhattan.
‐‐ Jason Calacanis
Creative experimentation propels our culture forward. That our stories of innovation tend to glorify the breakthroughs and edit out all the experimental mistakes doesn't mean that mistakes play a trivial role. As any artist or scientist knows, without some protected, even sacred space for mistakes, innovation would cease.

Creative genius is a divinely bestowed gift which is the coronation of the few.
‐‐ Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun. Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean there cannot be fun in business.
‐‐ Leo Burnett
Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.
‐‐ Anna Freud
Creative new health strategies like micro-insurance for poor people or Kangaroo care for pre-term babies are transforming health outcomes in even the most low-resource settings. Dedication and innovation are transforming health care worldwide.
‐‐ Liya Kebede
Creative non-fiction is such a liberating genre because it allows the non-fiction writer, whether he or she be journalist or essayist, to use all of the techniques of the fiction writer and all of the ideas, creative approaches, that fiction writers get a chance to use, but they have to use it in a true story.
‐‐ Lee Gutkind
Creative output, you know, is just pain. I'm going to be cliche for a minute and say that great art comes from pain.
‐‐ Kanye West
Creative people are more prone to depression.
‐‐ Adam Ant
Creative people are notoriously the slowest to adopt new technology.
‐‐ Robert Rodriguez
Creative people are very insecure people because they don't know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.
‐‐ Persis Khambatta
Creative people don't behave very well generally. If you're looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you're gonna be depressed real fast. I don't have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She's my first priority.
‐‐ Jim Carrey
Creative people who can't help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane.
‐‐ R. D. Laing
Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.
‐‐ Gary Ryan Blair
Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.
‐‐ Steve Wozniak
Creative thinking - in terms of idea creativity - is not a mystical talent. It is a skill that can be practised and nurtured.
‐‐ Edward de Bono
Creative thinking inspires ideas. Ideas inspire change.
‐‐ Barbara Januszkiewicz

Creative writing lessons can be very useful, just like music lessons can be useful. To say, as Hanif Kureishi did, that 99.9% of students are talentless is cruel and wrong. I believe that certain writers like to believe they arrived into the world with special, unteachable powers because it is good for the ego.
‐‐ Matt Haig
Creative writing programmes are not very necessary. They just exist so that people like us can make a living.
‐‐ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

‐‐ Debra Messing
Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.
‐‐ Matt Cameron
Creatively, I try to always look forward and look at the next thing I want to do.
‐‐ Charlie Fink
Creatively, I've always wanted to be different as it relates to my craft, and reggae, being a part of my culture, makes up a percentage of that uniqueness. The only definition I can think of to describe my style is 'OMI.'
‐‐ OMI
Creatively, it's great, because when you write your own movies, you get to create whatever you want.

‐‐ Umberto Eco
