J.U.

What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.

A narrative is like a room on whose walls a number of false doors have been painted; while within the narrative, we have many apparent choices of exit, but when the author leads us to one particular door, we know it is the right one because it opens.

Suspect each moment, for it is a thief, tiptoeing away with more than it brings.

I would especially like to re-court the Muse of poetry, who ran off with the mailman four years ago, and drops me only a scribbled postcard from time to time.

Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.
