George Lois Quotes

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.

I always want to remain inspired.

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun, and I think I'm sort of building up to doing something else quite soon.

Inspiration arrives as a packet of material to be delivered.

One of the strongest characteristics of genius is the power of lighting its own fire.

All this talk about inspiration and moment is nonsense.

There's a child within me. Everything is fascinating. The hunger to learn, do better and more creative things never goes.

I inspire myself.

I think the thing that keeps us motivated is challenging ourselves to see if we can be better than we've been before and seeing if we can stumble upon a magic that wasn't there before - whether it's a song, a performance, or a track that lights us up the way the first few records did.

When your self-worth goes up, your net worth goes up with it. In imagination, there's no limitation. Don't think it, ink it.

I never want to feel complacent, and I had started to, a little bit. I had started to feel like "I have this thing I can do, it's worked a few times," but not only does that get boring, but you feel stagnant and unproductive. So I was feeling a lack of creativity and motivation, so I started making a more conscious choice to grow personally. It wasn't even an image-conscious thing, like, "I don't want people to think this way about me." It was really just a way to keep myself energized and feel excited about this thing I love doing. Like I went to couples therapy or something.

My ideas and creativity are the sources of inspiration for me.

Inspiration must find answering inspiration.

Without such inspiration, we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish.

Everybody needs some inspiration, Everybody needs some motivation, mix it up with some imagination, and use your natural gifts.

Inspiration comes from the heart. The letter ‘I’ is the heart of F”I”RST… (F Inspiration R S T).

I work when I feel like I can do something that pleases me, that I think I can give a little more than I've given up to yesterday.

If you concern yourself with your neighbor’s talents, you’ll neglect your own. But if you concern yourself with yours, you could inspire both!

Creativity inspires me.

Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.
