“Art is its own thing, and so is craft — and creativity is common to both, in the same way as its absence. Without it, the craftsman is nothing, but just that: a craftsman; and not creative; and an artist without that creative spark is no poet: he is just someone who writes things.” ArtCreativityCraftsmanshipCraft Book:The Same Old Story Source: The Same Old Story
“The moments of nature's universal, triumphant silence had come, those minutes when the creative mind works harder, poetic thoughts seethe more ardently, the heart's passion blazes more brightly and its longing aches more painfully, the grain of criminal thought ripens in a cruel soul more imperturbably and powerfully.” PoetryPassionNatureSilenceCreativityLongingOblomovGoncharov Book:Oblomov Source: Oblomov
