The difference between a creative person and a creative producer

Here’s our special quote in honor of Labor Day: The difference between a creative person and a creative producer is hard work. Those who actually produce the play, build the rocket, find the cure, and write the novel don’t let their ideas collect dust on the “tomorrow’ shelf. They dig in, often before they feel completely ready, and keep digging until they unearth what they are searching for. It is the unglamorous, relentless, dirty-hands effort that eventually turns a drawing into a masterpiece and a melody into a concerto. When excellence is the goal, nothing else will do. Mary-Elaine Jacobsen

I cannot be liberated from anything that I … have not experienced. Real liberation becomes possible only when I have done all that I am able to do, when I have completely devoted myself to a thing and participated in it to the utmost.
