Man, like Deity, creates in his own image.

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

I like the fact that in ancient Chinese art the great painters always included a deliberate flaw in their work: human creation is never perfect.

Let a human being throw the energies of his soul into the making of something, and the instinct of workmanship will take care of his honesty.

I see the creative accomplishments of which highly gifted humans are capable as special cases of the universal creative process, that game played by everyone against everyone else, from which wells up all that has never been before.

I believe that both art and the human striving for cognitive comprehension are manifest forms of the grand game in which nothing more is stipulated than the game's rules; both art and actively solicited perceptions are but special cases of the recurring creative act to which we owe our existence.

In creating, the only hard things to begin; A grass blade's no easier to make than an oak.

Generalization is necessary to the advancement of knowledge; but particularity is indispensable to the creations of the imagination.

One must die to life in order to be utterly a creator.

The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down hill.
