- Ideas - "It is a very dangerous thing to have an idea that you will not practice." —Phyllis Bottome

- Identity - "Identity is not found, the way Pharoh's daughter found Moses in the bulrushes. Identity is built." —Margaret Halsey "Identity may be termed as action which is conscious of itself." —Jane Roberts "Your identity and your success go hand in hand. Many people sacrifice their identities by not doing what they really want to do." —Lila Swell "You see the woman across the room, you think, She's so poised; she's so together. But she looks at you and you are the woman across the room for her." —Diane von Furstenberg

- Imagination - "Imagination is the highest kite one can fly." —Lauren Bacall "The Possible's slow fuse is lit / By the Imagination." —Emily Dickinson "There are two worlds; the world that we can measure with line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imagination." —Leigh Hunt "To imagine the unimaginable is the highest use of the imagination." —Cynthia Ozick "The imagination equips us to perceive reality when it is not fully materialized." —Mary Caroline Richards "Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." —Gloria Steinem "Only in your imagination can you revise." —Fay Wray

- Independence - "Independence is happiness." —Susan B. Anthony "Then again, maybe I won't." —Judy Blume "No is the wildest word." —Emily Dickinson "Strong women can say no." —Maureen Murdock "The more independent you want to be, the more generous you must be with yourself as a woman." —Diane Von Furstenberg "Every door marked no by conventional standards seemed to hold the key to something I just had to have." —Marianne Williamson "Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue; and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath." —Mary Wollstonecraft

- Inspiration - "Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." —Ella Fitzgerald "Fairy tales are like a pair of glasses—not the rose-colored kind that make everything look wonderful, but the kind that bring reality into focus. Like good bifocals, they help us discern the way the world really is up close, without losing the biggger picture of the way the world was intended to be... The world of fairy tales sharply reveals that what we see around us is not all there is... Fairy tales offer hope. And hope, like nothing else in the world, inspires us and motivates us to keep going." —Nicole Johnson "I know writers who write only when inspiration comes. How would Isaac Stern play if he played the violin only when he felt like it? He would be lousy." —Madeleine L'Engle "I have found that sitting in a place where you have never sat before can be inspiring." —Dodie Smith "I learned...that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic, striving, but it comes to us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness." —Brenda Ueland

- Instinct - "Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts." —Rita Mae Brown

- Intuition - "Intuition is the direct perception of a truth or fact without going first through any reasoning process... To become more intuitive, slow down, ask, wait, look for a response." —Christina Baldwin "Trust your hunches... Hunches are usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. Warning! Do not confuse your hunches with wishful thinking. This is the road to disaster." —Dr. Joyce Brothers "Cease trying to work everything out with your minds. It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition and let your whole life be a revelation." —Ellen Caddy

- Irritation - "I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past." —Clara Barton "Many times when something irritates us we allow it to fester or grow into a slow burn. We allow our mind to tell us the person is doing it on purpose—just to be irritating. Usually, that is far from the truth" —Pam Farrel
