The creative individual has  the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught.  He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.

~John W. Gardner

I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes someone an artist. Is it the tools they use? Is it how they make their living? Is it their mindset?  I like this quote because it opens the role of creativity to a wider audience, not just artists.

The only reason we’re all not more creative is the fear of man, which stops us from questioning.
