Brené Brown, on art and creativity:

 

If we want to make meaning, we need to make art.

Cook, write, draw, doodle, paint, scrapbook, take pictures, collage, knit, rebuild an engine, sculpt, dance, decorate, act, sing – it doesn't matter.
As long as we're creating, we're cultivating meaning.
- Brené Brown.
