We must be fully committed, but we must also be aware at the same time that we might possibly be wrong. People who claim to be absolutely convinced that their stand is the only right one...is a dead giveaway of unconscious doubt.

The creative act arises out of the struggle of human beings with and against that which limits them.

Every act of genuine creativity means achieving a higher level of self-awareness and personal freedom.

Creativity is neither the product of neurosis nor simple talent, but an intense courageous encounter with the Gods.
