Are you facing a creativity block? Not anymore! We have brought you this amazing collection of creativity quotes by famous authors, philosophers and other personalities that will help you to be more creative.

Creativity is a mysterious word. Everyone defines creativity in their own way. Creativity is how you use different resources to form something meaningful.

Inventors connect different elements to create an invention. Songwriters connect different words to create a song. Painters connect different colours to create a painting.

Everyone uses resources in their own way. That is why every creator is unique. We lose creativity when we start seeking perfectionism. Creativity lies in curiosity.

If you want to be creative, let your mind wander and connect every relevant resource. You will end up forming something creative and unique.

Create your creation and then alter it. Creativity also lies in alteration. Make changes until you are satisfied with it. The idea of getting it perfect from the beginning is killing your creativity.

Here’s the list of creativity quotes that will boost up your creative side. Also share these quotes with your friends to bring their creativity back.
