Creativity Quotes

Well, I wanted to be a philosopher, which is the idlest occupation in the world.

So I was thrown out, as it were. Other than that, there seemed no possible idle occupations, so writing . . . although writing isn't exactly idleness. There's an enormous tension between indolence and languor.

With abstraction, which is brilliant and vain, you divorce yourself from any kind of proximity to other people.
