The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:
A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive.
To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune
is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover
is a god, and failure is death.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity
to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music
or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning,
their very breath is cut off...

They must create, must pour out creation.
By some strange, unknown, inward urgency 
they are not really alive unless they are creating.

   -Pearl Buck-
