“The biographies of great artists make it abundantly clear that the creative urge is often so imperious that it battens on their humanity and yokes everything to the service of the work, even at the cost of health and ordinary human happiness. The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself, quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle.” MenWritingHumansEndsMightArtistHumanityForceCreativeClearFateAchieveHe ManCostOrdinarySubtleUrgesVehicleBiographiesGreat ArtCunningUnbornGreat ArtistYokeForces Of NatureHuman Happiness Author:Carl Jung
“The wonder of an artist's performance grows with the range of his penetration, with the instinctive sympathy that makes him, in his mortal isolation, considerate of other men's fate and a great diviner of their secret, so that his work speaks to them kindly, with a deeper assurance than they could have spoken with to themselves.” MenArtistSpeakGrowsSecretWonderFatePerformancesDeeperMortalsRangeIsolationAssuranceConsideratePenetration Book:The Life of Reason: Human Understanding Source: The Life of Reason: Human Understanding
