Through all of history mankind has ingested psychedelic substances. Those substances exist to put you in touch with spirits beyond yourself with the creator with the creative impulse of the planet.

I believe there is a relationship between having an interest in the arts and the behaviour of society as a whole. Some politicians find it difficult that the arts is a weapon of happiness... Politics is often about deprivation rather than the opening up of ideas and nourishing creative endeavour.

To have the sense of creative activity is the great happiness and the great proof of being alive.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God.

God flourished my ministry and my career of creative thinking communicating and writing back 50 years.

Overall the anarchy was the most creative of all periods of Japanese culture for in it there appeared the greatest landscape painting the culmination of the skill of landscape gardening and the arts of flower arrangement and the No drama.

Clearly some creative thinking is badly needed if humans are to have a future beyond Earth. Returning to the Moon may be worthy and attainable but it fails to capture the public's imagination. What does get people excited is the prospect of a mission to Mars.

I hope that we can continue this cooperation on other critical issues related to America's future technological competitiveness. We must work together to encourage the creative talents that have made our country the world leader in technology.

My idea in terms of managing a narrative or in thinking in my creative life is that you could easily argue that the past the present and the future all occur simultaneously and if you can postulate that then you're not strictly bound to a linear narrative.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

It's funny because I sometimes feel that I'm most creative when I'm pregnant.

In terms of the creative side of it it's really been a thing where you come up with the funny stuff is usually at a bar or out talking to people or whatever.

I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I'm not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I'm certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions.

For me my friendship with Omar Rodriguez from Mars Volta that friendship really means a lot to me because he's another creative person who works as hard as I do.

Creative freedom is an imperative for me but it doesn't really exist in a Hollywood game.

Real freedom is creative proactive and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.

The food in Sydney is an Asian Pacific cuisine. It's eclectic but above all it's fresh inventive and creative and that's what I love about it.

I was born in the '60s and grew up in the '70s - not exactly the best decade for food in British history. It was horrendous. It was a time when as a nation we excelled in art and music and acting and photography and fashion - all creative skills... all apart from cooking.

Guided only by their feeling for symmetry simplicity and generality and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things creative mathematicians now as in the past are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong.
