The world, from now on,
Will be made through the mind.
Through great dreaming, great loving,
And masterly application.
--- Ben Okri, 1999
"O maior martírio para um artista criativo é ver-se privado da possibilidade de continuar criando. Esta separação é a sua morte".
--- Gabriel Perissé
--------------------
E pensando melhor nisso... quantas vezes não nos aconteceu querer mudar o mundo...melhorar o que está à nossa volta...e não o puder fazer... tortura... martírio... mas parte da nossa vida porque vivemos em sociedade.
O que acham...um criativo deve ser deixado ser criativo independente das consequências da sua criatividade?
"Creativity is a marriage between ideas which were previously strangers to each other" - A. Koestler
"It is never to late to be what you might have been" - George Eliott
"Creativity is the magical, unresonable leap that immagination willingly makes, allowing new, original ideas to be born".
J.Bruner
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head almost nothing.
-Marc Chagall

For most, it will be seen that the process of such high creativity consists of three phases:
1) the prelude ritual;
2) the altered state of consciousness or creative spell during which the creative idea is born, starting with vibrations, then mental images, then the flow of ideas which are finally clothed in form... and,
3) the postlude in which positive emotions about the experience suffuse the participant.
-John Curtis Gowan

The hallmark of creative people is their mental flexibility... Sometimes they are open and probing, at others they're playful and off-the-wall. At still other times, they're critical and faultfinding. And finally they're doggedly persistent in striving to reach their goals. From this I've concluded that the creative process consists of our adopting four main roles, each which embodies a different type of thinking... These roles are: Explorer, Artist, Judge and Warrior.
-Roger von Oech
"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the flight of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."
Albert Einstein
A linguagem é uma projecção distorsionada dos conceitos e imagens que esixtem na mente de um indivíduo e que se formam com base na interpretação pessoal dos factos. Consequentemente, a má comunicação é intrínseca à linguagem excepto quando se conhecem os interesses e as experiências passadas do indivíduo que tenta comunicar.
Não é engraçado como consideramos quase sempre que percebemos o que os outros nos dizem...enquanto a probabilidade de isto realmente acontecer é quase nula?
"Dreaming is an act of imagination,
attesting in all men a creative power,
which, if it were available in waking,
would make every man a
Dante or Shakespeare."
H.F. Hedge
Creativity is playing with immagination and possibilities, leading to new and meaningful connections and outcomes while interacting with ideas, people and the environment.
--- Lumsdaine & Lumsdaine (1995)
