Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher senseโ he is "collective man"โ one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind.
Carl JungSomewhere, right at the bottom of oneโs own being, one generally does know where one should go and what one should do. But there are times when the clown we call โIโ behaves in such a distracting fashion that the inner voice cannot make its presence felt.
Carl Jung
