William Gibson Quotes

Dream by making and make by dreaming.

Creativity involves putting your imagination to work. In a sense, creativity is applied imagination.

Creativity is the art of the impossible

The basis of action is lack of imagination. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.

One should never turn one's back on a vivid imagination.

Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.

As a writer you ask yourself to dream while awake.

Everything becomes creative if the person doing the job is

It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very hard to put yourself out there, it’s very hard to be vulnerable, but those people who do that are the dreamers, the thinkers and the creators. They are the magic people of the world.

The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is-it’s to imagine what is possible.

Telling people how to be creative is easy - being creative is difficult.

I believe that dreams - day dreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing - are likely to lead to the betterment of the world.

We must not be afraid of dreaming the seemingly impossible if we want the seemingly impossible to become a reality.

Dare to be wrong and to dream.
