My creativity, no matter how poor, is for me a far better guide than all the knowledge with which my head has been crammed. In the night of Power, its glimmer keeps the enemy forces at bay.

Raoul Vaneigem
About This Quote

When you are creative, your creativity will always be there for you no matter how poor or how small your original work may be. Your ideas may not be good enough to be done but the process of thinking through them and doing them is an outlet for your creativity. The work that comes out is not necessarily good enough for others but it is good enough for you. It gives your mind something to do so that it does not wander off.

Your mind can take in information, process it, and form new thoughts all without creating anything. Even if the ideas you come up with are so terrible, they are still better than nothing because at least they mean something to you.
