“The most popular conception of creativity is that it’s something to do with the arts.

“Nonsense.

“Creativity is imagination, and imagination is for everyone.”

  1. Never heard of Paul Arden. My first take was that this sounded like typical pop-psych drivel. A quick look at the link told me I was right.

    All sentient things are creative, Arden, you fool.

  2. It’s actually a good book. I read it this morning. Paul Arden is a big and famous ad agency copywriter. British.

    The book’s good. The quote, however, obviously doesn’t withstand the scrutiny of this crowd.
