“Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are essential to the work of art or poem.”
Rollo May
“Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.”
Dr. Rollo May
“Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are.”
John McLaughlin
“If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.”
Win Borden
“We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.”
Maria Montessori
“Once people see this 'Unplugged,' I just want them to feel the spontaneity, to feel passionate, ... I want you to see another side of me, that's free, and feel where my head is, where whatever happens, happens. I want you to feel inspired.”
Alicia Keys
“There's an English show I love called Whose Line Is It Anyway? It's all improvisation. Brilliant, quick, clever comics - spontaneity with both barrels. I wish I could do that show.”
Johnny Depp
