Creativity is the encounter of the intensively conscious human being with his world.

A myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence. Whether the meaning of existence is only what we put into life by our own individual fortitude, as Sartre would hold, or whether there is a meaning we need to discover, as Kierkegaard would state, the result is the same: myths are our way of finding this meaning and significance.

No one can separate themselves from one's social group and remain healthy, because the very structure of personality is dependent on the community.

In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone.

Vanity and narcissism — the compulsive need to be admired and praised — undermine one's courage, for one then fights on someone else's conviction rather than one's own.
