"Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way."
- Edward de Bono

"Creativity comes from looking for the unexpected and stepping outside your own experience."
- Masaru Ibuka

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

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things."
- Steve Jobs

"The highest ideals are human intelligence, creativity and love. Respect these above all."
- Penn Jillette
