IMAGINATION
is the source of the creative self: perspiration theory and inspiration theory
_______________________________________
The idea of divine inspiration was contradicted by Edison’s crediting his creativity breakthroughs to the sweat of his brow!
“Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration” (quoted by M. A. Rosanoff in Harper’s Monthly Magazine Sept. 1932, as having been said by Edison c.1903)
