"Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity"
- Charles Mingus
About this Quote
This quote by Charles Mingus talks to the concept that imagination is more than just being different. It has to do with taking something basic and making it awesomely simple. This is an uphill struggle, as it needs a great deal of idea and effort to make something basic yet effective. It is much easier to come up with something odd or different, but it takes an unique type of creativity to make something simple yet powerful. This is what Bach did with his music, and it is what Mingus is suggesting we strive for in our own creative undertakings. Imagination is not just about being various, it is about taking something simple and making it awesomely simple.
