I think this (alleged) Orson Welles quote says it best: “The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.”

The similar quote I've heard is, "Form is liberating." I feel like I heard this in the context of poetry in high school, but Google turns up a bunch of references to The Mythical Man Month.

I guess the first cause of creativity is a 'what if' not an 'it surely will'
