The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.<br/>To him..<br/>a touch is a blow,<br/>a sound is a noise,<br/>a misfortune is a tragedy,<br/>a joy is an ecstasy,<br/>a friend is a lover,<br/>a lover is a god,<br/>and failure is death.<br/>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.

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping.. Waiting.. And though unwanted.. Unbidden.. It will stir.. Open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us.. Guides us.. Passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love.. The clarity of hatred.. And the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace.. But we would be hollow.. Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.
