Famous quotes containing the words creative and/or work:

    “A creative writer must study carefully the works of his rivals, including the Almighty. He must possess the inborn capacity not only of recombining but of re-creating the given world. In order to do this adequately, avoiding duplication of labor, the artist should know the given world.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Bless you, of course you’re keeping me from work,
    But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
    There’s work enough to do there’s always that;
    But behind’s behind. The worst that you can do
    Is set me back a little more behind.
    I shan’t catch up in this world, anyway.
    I’d rather you’d not go unless you must.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
