Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.\u201d &#8211; Rene Daumal<br \/>\n\u201cClarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what he loves.\u201d &#8211; Blaise Pascal<br \/>\n\u201cClear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.\u201d &#8211; Thomas Szasz<br \/>\n\u201cSimplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art. They seem to be the purpose of God for his whole creation.\u201d &#8211; Richard Holloway<br \/>\n\u201cFor me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity\u201d &#8211; Gotthold Ephraim Lessing<br \/>\n\u201cMusic is powered by ideas. If you don&#8217;t have clarity of ideas, you&#8217;re just communicating sheer sound.\u201d &#8211; Yo-Yo Ma<br \/>\n\u201cI experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream\u201d &#8211; Vincent van Gogh<br \/>\n\u201cTraveling through the world produces a marvelous clarity in the judgment of men. We are all of us confined and enclosed within ourselves, and see no farther than the end of our nose. This great world is a mirror where we must see ourselves in order to know ourselves. There are so many different tempers, so many different points of view, judgments, opinions, laws and customs to teach us to judge wisely on our own, and to teach our judgment to recognize its imperfection and natural weakness.\u201d &#8211; Michel de Montaigne<br \/>\n\u201cClarity is the most important thing. I can compare clarity to pruning in gardening. You know, you need to be clear. If you are not clear, nothing is going to happen. You have to be clear. Then you have to be confident about your vision. And after that, you just have to put a lot of work in.\u201d &#8211; Diane von Furstenberg<br \/>\n\u201cEveryone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more &#8211; more unseen forms become manifest to him.\u201d &#8211; Jalal ad-Din Rumi<br \/>\n\u201cWhoever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity. For the crowd considers anything deep if only it cannot see to the bottom: the crowd is so timid and afraid of going into the water.\u201d &#8211; Friedrich Nietzsche<br \/>\n\u201cMystification is simple; clarity is the hardest thing of all.\u201d \u2015 Julian Barnes<br \/>\n\u201cThe scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.\u201d &#8211; Nikola Tesla<br \/>\n\u201cAlthough our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.\u201d &#8211; Karl von Clausewitz<br \/>\n\u201cClarity is the counterbalance of profound thoughts.\u201d &#8211; Marquis de Vauvenargues<br \/>\n\u201cClear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle creativity.\u201d \u2015 Karl Lagerfeld<br \/>\n\u201cPerfect clarity would profit the intellect but damage the will\u201d &#8211; Blaise Pascal<br \/>\n\u201cThe beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.\u201d &#8211; Conan O&#8217;Brien<br \/>\n\u201cI look at the human life like an experiment. Every new moment, every new experience, tragic or otherwise, is an opportunity to gain a more accurate perspective and helps lead me to clarity.\u201d &#8211; Steve Gleason<br \/>\n\u201cWill our life not be a tunnel between two vague clarities? Or will it not be a clarity between two dark triangles?\u201d &#8211; Pablo Neruda<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/13367\/the-essential-list-of-creativity-quotes\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Read more Creativity Quotes here..<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/13347\/the-essential-list-of-creativity-videos\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">View The Essential List Of Creativity\u00a0Videos\u00a0here.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s a selection of my favorite quotes on clarity. \u201cMore important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity\u201d &#8211;
