“The
artist’s life cannot be otherwise than full of conflicts, for two forces are at
war within him [or her]—on the one hand, the common human longing for
happiness, satisfaction and security in life, and on the other a ruthless
passion for creation which may go so far as to override every personal desire …
There are hardly any exceptions to the rule that a person must pay dearly for
the divine gift of creative fire.” —Carl Jung
