True creativity often starts where language ends.

Summary

This quote suggests that true creativity often transcends the limitations of language. In trying to express original ideas, concepts, or emotions, individuals may find it challenging to rely solely on language as a medium. Instead, creativity emerges when people venture beyond conventional verbal communication, exploring alternative forms such as art, music, dance, or other nonverbal means. It implies that the most profound and imaginative ideas can originate from a space beyond the confines of language, allowing for a more limitless and expressive form of creativity to flourish.

The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book- a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice.
