Creativity at SIS

I was asked by my Chinese teacher to give her some quotes about "creativity" for the Languages department in an Art department project called 'Creativity at SIS'.

So I just drew this up off the top of my head:

"To create is to bring something into existence where before there was nothing. Creativity raises us above mortality."

"Creativity is how we violate the laws of the universe. It is our greatest power."

"The first thing to exist was God. The second was creativity, so God could create the world."
- maybe this one isn't really suitable... but I included it anyway because it's cool. I'm not even religious...

Got a reply saying she wants quotes related to language, Chinese if possible.

I could only think, 'What... languages aren't creative...'

I gave her this: "Languages by themselves are not creative. Speaking and writing languages? Now that's creativity in action."
