“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him,
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create – so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.”
~Pearl S. Buck

I really like this quote by Pearl S. Buck becomes I often feel this way. I am overly sensitive in so many ways, and I feel so compelled to create I often have many projects running and over schedule my time. I wonder if other creative people feel this? I will bring it up at my next writer’s meeting.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”

This is one of many good quotes I got off this site, which I found via StumbleUpon. Thanks StumbleUpon! I love these quotes and as a student of physics I adore Einstein. I was just thinking of adding a quote of his in this story I’m working on, how cool is that.
