Creativity Quotations

‘The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.’
— Dee Hock
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
CARL JUNG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the creative state a man is taken out of himself.
He lets down as it were a bucket into his subconscious, and draws up something which is normally beyond his reach.
He mixes this thing with his normal experiences and out of the mixture he makes a work of art.
E.M. FORESTER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We don’t see things as they are;
We see them as we are.
Anais Nin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creativity takes courage.
Henri Matisse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him...
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - -
so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him.
He must create, must pour out creation.
By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.

-Pearl S. Buck
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced.
NED ROREM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conditions for creativity are
to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self.
ERICH FROMM

Hi Lynn, I got them today and they're gorgeous! Thank you so much for the extras. I love the crowns even more than I thought I would. There's one that's sort of a small size...the smallest one. I really like that size and may want to get more. Thank you again! I'm excited! Deryn

I purchased the compass rose necklace you created that was photographed in Belle Armoire last year. I love it, by the way, but I have a small question...I am a writer and have just finished a novel that I am trying to publish. I am about to complete a personal website for the book, and I would like to photograph the necklace to be one of the pop-up photos on my website. Would you have any problem with a photo of the necklace appearing on my web page? I wanted to get permission since you are the rightful creator of the piece. I just wanted to use the necklace because I am so personally fond of it. Thank you for considering. :) Best wishes to you and yours, Kelly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just can not begin to describe how beautiful and well made this necklace is. It's perfect. Thank you! LeAnn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a beautiful necklace, built with love and received with a gracious heart! Every item she makes is a treasure, and is worth more than its weight in gold! Jenny
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, it's so beautiful, you did a fantastic job painting it, and your little box is darling. You are the BEST! Sue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a gift for my son's mother in law and she LOVED it!! Thank you Lynn!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This piece is actually more amazing in person, the picture didn't do it justice. I am more than pleased, it was suppose to be a gift but it's mine now! Thank you Lynn, I am never dissapointed! Gloria

i've been both a little dismayed and very inspired by all the skilled and talented artists on etsy. until recently, i couldn't have named a dozen of the best without looking at a list. Now that i've discovered Lynn Davis, i've always got a place to start. She's one of those people who not only comes up with fantastic ideas then does all the work herself, even though according to her blog, she has very little time to devote to her artwork. take a look. her prices are affordable and purchases arrive very promptly. take a look at her work, then treat yourself to ten minutes (at least) with her blog.

Lynn Davis is a wonderful discovery. her work and her blog both inspire me, and her pieces are incredibly original and mysterious and reasonable and get from there to here faster than Superwoman. and my first order came with a delightful gift. I recommend her without reservation. Artemesia

This is so cute!!! I am wearing it right now and have gotten so many compliments today at work. It looks like an authentic Civil War prayer rosary necklace. Thank you so much! I LOVE IT!!! - Angela
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lynn, this is such a wonderful necklace. I'm thrilled. It goes with everything and I wear it so often. Thanks so much. Julie L
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All I can say is WOW!! SOOOOO pretty in person too, especially when the light hits them. What a talented artist. My dragonfly loving friends are going to be very jealous when they see these earrings. I will definitely be back for more! Thank you so much Lynn!! I will wear them with pride :) - Heather
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This piece is 100% fantastic! I love it, and this seller could not have been any kinder to work with. An excellent buy and an excellent transaction all around. - Kelly
