This is what it means to create: not to make something out of nothing, but to make order out of chaos. A creative scientist or historian does not make up facts but orders facts; he sees connections between them rather than seeing them as random data.
A creative writer does not make up new words but arranges familiar words in patterns which say something fresh to us.
-Harold S. Kushner, When Bad Things Happen to Good People (51, 52).
Thanks to Confessions of an Irish Procrastinator for nominating me for quotes. I only like to share one, myself; but thanks for shouting out. 🙂

I like this quote! You do not have to come up with something completely new, you just work with what you have.

That’s how it struck me, too. Even with these inspirational quotes I find, many people say about the same thing. I word or space or comma place differently than another’s can change the artwork just subtly enough to resonate with a reader, when something similar did not.
