“People create stories create people; or rather stories create people create stories.”
Chinua Achebe
“There are times to cultivate and create, when you nurture your world and give birth to new ideas and ventures. There are times of flourishing and abundance, when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding. And there are times of fruition, when things come to an end. They have reached their climax and must be harvested before they begin to fade. And finally of course, there are times that are cold, and cutting and empty, times when the spring of new beginnings seems like a distant dream. Those rhythms in life are natural events. They weave into one another as day follows night, bringing, not messages of hope and fear, but messages of how things are.”
Chogyam Trungpa
“If you do not create your destiny, you will have your fate inflicted upon you”

Jim Morrison
“A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn't learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish.”
Yves Saint Laurent
“Who is ever adequate? We all create situations each other can't live up to, then break our hearts at them because they don't.”

Clement Mok
