The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.

Carl Rogers
Art, Unique, Essence
Carl Ransom Rogers (1961). “On becoming a person: a therapist's view of psychotherapy”, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH)

"Freedom, individualism, authenticity and being yourself so long as you don't hurt another's physical person or property: The creative process is the emergence in action of a novel relational product, growing out of the uniqueness of the individual."

Carl Rogers
Being Yourself, Art, Hurt

The genuinely significant creation, whether an idea, or a work of art, or a scientific discovery, is most likely to be seen at first as erroneous, bad, or foolish. Later it may be seen as obvious, something self-evident to all. Only still later does it receive its final evaluation as a creative contribution. It seems clear no contemporary mortal can satisfactorily evaluate a creative product at the time it is formed, and this statement is increasingly true the greater the novelty of the creation.
