On the one hand, it is in and through creative minds that the community fulfils itself at its best and reaches its highest forms; and on the other, it is from them that the community recovers the social substance with which it had nourished them, transfigured by their creative alchemy into a still higher social substance. The creative evolution of his community and his own creative evolution must always be the two earnest purposes of the individual. Its own creative evolution and that of the individuals in its midst must always be the two earnest purposes of the community. Salvador De Madariaga
About This Quote

In order to grow as a society, we must ensure that members of the community have the freedom to pursue their creativity. In addition, we must also ensure that the people who create are provided for and able to fulfill their creative potential. The community needs its very best thinkers – those who can turn a problem into a solution – and must also provide for those who bring those solutions to life.
