Famous quotes containing the words creative and/or skill:
“Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Before I put a brush to canvas, I question, “Is this mine?... Is it influenced by some idea which I have acquired from some man?”... I am trying with all my skill to do a painting that is all of women, as well as all of me.”
—Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986)
