The artists life cannot be otherwise than full of conflicts, for two forces are at war within him-on the one hand the common human longing for happiness, satisfaction and security in life, and on the other a ruthless passion for creation which may go so far as to override every personal desire. ....a person must pay dearly for the divine gift of the creative fire.
C.G. Jung
"Man's mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its origional dimension."
