1 Creative Quotations from John Updike (1932-____) born on Mar 18 US novelist who writes about American small-town life, e.g., Rabbit, Run, 1960.

2 The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education.

3 Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

4 Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity… any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.

5 Art is like baby shoes. When you coat them with gold, they can no longer be worn.

6 The essential support and encouragement comes from within, arising out of the mad notion that your society needs to know what only you can tell it.
