Abraham Maslow:
The key question isn't "What fosters creativity?" But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled?

We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.
