It Is Generally Recognized That Creativity Requires Leisure, An Absence Of Rush, Time For The Mind And Imagination To Float And Wander And Roam, Time For The Individual To Descend Into The Depths Of His Or Her Psyche, To Be Available To Barely Audible Signals Rustling For Attention.

You Can Be Loved By Your Family, Your Mate, And Your Friends Yet Not Love Yourself. You Can Be Admired By Your Associates Yet Regard Yourself As Worthless.

You Can Win Every Honor Yet Feel That You Have Accomplished Nothing. What Shall It Profit A Person To Gain The Esteem Of The Whole World Yet Lose His Or Her Own?
