Creativity is something interesting. I’ve been seeing the Gwen Stefani HP commercial a lot, and while I’m not a fan of her musically, I really like the message of the commercials and agree with it fully.
“Sometimes its so hard to find what it is I’m trying to say. People might think you can turn creativity on and off, but its not like that. It just kind of comes out, a mash up of all of these things that you collect in your mind. You never know when its going to happen but when it does? It’s like magic. It’s just that simple, and it’s just that hard.”
That quote’s been haunting me as much as this next one, which is from Jefferey Eugenides in a forward to a book that’s a collection of love stories: “Love stories depend upon disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name.”
Two quotes. Similar, different, and introspective.
That’s all I’ve got for today, really. After a few hours of studying International Business, that’s all my head’s good for: someone else’s words.
