creative people, as i see them, are distinguished by the fact
that they can live with anxiety, even though a high price may be paid
in teres of insecurity, sensitivity, and defenselessness for the gift
of the "divine madness". to borrow the term used by the classical Greeks.
they do not run away from non-being, but by encountering and wrestling
with it, force it to produce being. they knock on silence for
and answering music;they pursue meaninglessness until they can
force it to mean - "the courage to create", rollo may.
