Creative Skill

Famous quotes containing the words creative and/or skill:

    “Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through.”

    “OUR Latin books in motly row,
    Invite us to our task—
    Gay Horace, stately Cicero:
    Yet there’s one verb, when once we know,
    No higher skill we ask:
    This ranks all other lore above—
    We’ve learned “’Amare’ means ‘to love’!””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
