Brain Dead

I am brain dead today. I've been trying to come up with a post for today. I think y'all are probably tired of my world and the Sarah Palin cr . . . er, uh . . . stuff -- yeah, that's it -- because I am, too, and try as I might to be creative, it isn't working. I finally sought help from my quotes archive to seek inspiration from greater minds than mine had to say and decided to share my findings with y'all. I hope you find these as interesting as I did.

* The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. -- Albert Einstein

* Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous. -- Bill Moyers

* Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. -- Scott Adams

* Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can play weird; that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity. -- Charlie Mingus

* Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties. -- Erich Fromm

* The chief enemy of creativity is "good" sense. -- Pablo Picasso

* A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something. -- Frank Capra

* Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found. -- James Russell Lowell

* Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things. -- Ray Bradbury

Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. It makes me absolutely crazy to listen to Sarah Palin. The scary thing is there are people who want her for President. Where are their brains?

  8. Good quotes Kay. You're not the only one. We all get a little 'brain dead' sometimes when it comes to posting...it's just how it is. I'm still learning not to stress-out too much about it. Have a good week sweetie....
