“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
“Human nature is not amenable to prediction based on the trends or tendencies prevailing at the time.

“Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you're doing. Picasso had a saying: good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas, and I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.” PeopleThinkingWorldTryingHumansMadeIdeasDoneArtistInspiringHappenedPoetTasteComputerMusicianScientistStealingBest ThingsMemorableBeing The BestCopiesHistorianGreat ArtGreat IdeaGreat ArtistGood ArtShamelessGood ArtistMacintoshZoologist Author:Steve Jobs
“Business is a creative and therefore spiritual endeavor. Great entrepreneurs enter the field of business in the same way great artists enter the field of art. With their business creation, entrepreneurs express their spiritual desire for self-realization, evolutionary passion for self- fulfillment, and creative vision of a new world. The entrepreneur's business is their artwork. The creation of business is as creative as any creation in art. In fact, building a business may be the most creative human activity.” WorldWayHumansMayArtSelfFactsSpiritualDesireArtistPassionVisionCreativeCreationFieldsBuildingActivityEntrepreneurSelf RealizationRealizationFulfillmentEndeavorNew WorldGreat ArtGreat ArtistArtworkHuman ActivitySelf FulfillmentCreative VisionBuilding A Business Author:Yasuhiko Kimura
