quote of the day

The artist’s life cannot be otherwise than full of conflicts, for two forces are at war within him [or her]—on the one hand, the common human longing for happiness, satisfaction and security in life, and on the other a ruthless passion for creation which may go so far as to override every personal desire … There are hardly any exceptions to the rule that a person must pay dearly for the divine gift of creative fire.

~Carl Jung (1875-1961)

My creative fire must, at best, be a warm glow because although I do try to write well I don't feel my efforts require me to pay dearly.
