“I feel too much. To feel too much is unhealthy. But an excess of sensitivity is the paint that colors the tormented castle of genius. All human greatness is pathological in origin. My suffering breathes life into me, more and more life, more life than I can deal with. It allows me to travel to places I might never otherwise have visited: places in the mind, in the soul, in the mythic layers of unspoken fears. It is the source of my secret strength. It is a strength of which even Nimue cannot deprive me.” ArtSufferingCreativityGeniusShadowMadnessStrength Through AdversitySublimation Book:The Mistletoe Murders: A Nietzschean Murder Mystery Source: The Mistletoe Murders: A Nietzschean Murder Mystery

If we reject our dreamers, we shall create nothing but nightmares.” ArtDreamCreativityValueNightmare Book:Social Capitalism: Against Mammonism Source: Social Capitalism: Against Mammonism
