Ecstasy is the accurate term for the intensity of consciousness that occurs in the creative act.
People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day to day.
Now, I believe in life, and I believe in the joy of human existence, but these things cannot be experienced except as we also face the despair, also face the anxiety that every human being has to face if he lives with any creativity at all.
Creativity is a yearning for immortality
The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free.
When inward life dries up, when feeling decreases and apathy increases, when one cannot affect or even genuinely touch another person, violence flares up as a daimonic necessity for contact, a mad drive forcing touch in the most direct way possible.
