Sandra CisnerosI believe that the creative impulse is natural in all human beings, and that it is particularly powerful in children unless it is suppressed. Consequently, one is behaving normally and instinctively and healthily when one is creating - literature, art, music, or whatever. An excellent cook is also creative!

To me this is a complete misreading of the human enterprise. One should also enjoy one's work, and look forward to it daily.
