“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
“A man who is morally clean, other things being equal, has in every instance, greater agility, greater capacity, and greater endurance by far than the man who is not. While the latter is wasting his creative energies in useless pleasures, as well as in disease producing habits, the former is turning all of his creative energy into ability and genius, and the result is evident.” MenWellsEnergyAbilityPleasureResultsCreativeGreaterHe ManGeniusHabitEqualDiseaseCapacityCleanInstanceFormerUselessLatterEnduranceEvidentAgilityBeing EqualCreative Energy Author:Christian D.
