In 1991 our family was evacuated from Zaire due to political and economic instability. At that time I began working as a freelance consultant in International Health. I also began looking for opportunities to share Creative Quotations to a larger audience that might appreciate insights from famous creative people -- “The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages may be preserved in quotations. (Isaac D'Israeli). CreativeQuotations.com came to be as a result of that effort, and is intended to challenge people readers to think creatively by looking for connections between quotations and the creative process -- “Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected (William Plomer).
Many online high school programs such as the one offered by GED Online encourage their students to be creative while also striving to further their academic potential.
The Internet has provided me with the medium to not only share my quotation collection as “CreativeQuotations.com”, but also to expand to a broader platform of “BeMoreCreative.com.” That eventually led to numerous other Creative Quotational websites. I’ve thematically combined quotations on a selected topic with online links to products related to that topic. The CreativeHardwareStore.com, for example, was inspired by the quotation that “Anyone can look for history in a museum. The creative explorer looks for history in a hardware store” --Robert Wieder.
