Creativity Quotes

Lately, I’ve been in a major creativity slump. This is natural, of course, since creativity ebbs and flows depending on factors like season and circumstance. Still, I feel my best when my imagination is in overdrive and I’m excited to share myself with the world.

Whenever I’m lacking inspiration, I turn to quotes as a means of motivation. There’s something about a good quote that never fails to lift my spirits; I think it’s because it’s so resonant, and as a reader, I feel as if it was written especially for me.

No matter how you create–whether you’re a writer, actor, singer, artist, lawyer, or doctor–I think at least one of these creativity quotes will speak to you.
