What Kierkegaard Said About Love Is Also

Good Art Wounds As Well As Delights. It Must, Because Our Defenses Against The Truth Are Wound So Tightly Around Us. But As Art Chips Away At Our Defenses, It Also Opens Us To Healing Potentialities That Transcend Intellectual Games And Ego-preserving Strategies.

What If Imagination And Art Are Not Frosting At All, But The Fountainhead Of Human Experience?

Creativity Arises Out Of The Tension Between Spontaneity And Limitations, The Latter (like The River Banks) Forcing The Spontaneity Into The Various Forms Which Are Essential To The Work Of Art Or Poem.

Tools And Techniques Ought To Be An Extension Of Consciousness, But They Can Just As Easily Be A Protection From Consciousness. Then The Tools Become Defence Mechanisms... Against The Unconscious.

Many People Feel They Are Powerless To Do Anything Effective With Their Lives. It Takes Courage To Break Out Of The Settled Mold, But Most Find Conformity More Comfortable. This Is Why The Opposite Of Courage In Our Society Is Not Cowardice, It's Conformity.
