Creativity = "an increasingly rare crime"

A recent post prompted a lively discussion about what exactly creativity actually is. My friend John, one of Creative DC's most active readers, turned to Google for help; among all the definitions he found, one that struck him most was that of Uruguayan writer and author Eduardo Galeano, who apparently defines creativity as "an increasingly rare crime."

Reader Scenic Artisan thinks this is the best definition he's heard yet. (Scenic, are you being facetious?)

What do you think? What does this quote mean to you? Is creativity necessarily transgressive? Heady stuff for a Thursday, to be sure, but hey, it's unseasonably warm here in DC... you should have some extra energy. :)
