“Pearl Buck on the creative mind

“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. (…)

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 creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless creating.” ”
Pearl Buck, American writer who spent most of her time in China, the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (1892-1973)
