About This Quote

Creativity is that marvelous capacity to grasp mutually distinct realities and draw a spark from their juxtaposition. According to the theory of evolution, humans have been working on building tools for a very long time. We have been evolving as a species. This means that we have been retaining our ability to make use of anything, from language to tools to musical instruments, for a very long time. While we do not know exactly how old this ability is, we can assume that it is millions of years old and that it is our most important trait as human beings.
