Inspiring Creative Quotes

I gathered these inspiring creative quotes because everyone – yes you too – is creative.

Being creative is about new ideas.

Creativity can be tangible, or intangible.

It’s for the dreamers and the doers, for the deep thinkers and the problem solvers.

It’s for everyone.

Let’s start with a few quotes about just what creativity is..

 Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. – Thomas Merton

Make Mistakes

Don’t stifle your creativity, embrace it.

You may want to create more, but you’re holding yourself back.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never made anything new.

Get to Work

Sometimes the most intimidating sight can be a sheet of blank paper.

It’s the starting that’s scary. We want to really feel motivated.

But the truth is that motivation comes once you get started.

Yes, these are supposed to be inspiring creative quotes, but you must stop waiting for inspiration to strike you.

You may never feel ready, just start.

Some of the most inspiring creative quotes are from the brilliant mind of Albert Einstein.

I hope you are leaving this post feeling very inspired and ready to be creative in whatever way that you choose.

You are creative.

Trust your gut, think outside of the box and just do.

Remember, you don’t have to be great to start – but you do have to start to be great.
