“Art is more godlike than science. Science discovers but art Creates. ”
Why must artist create? For me the impulse to create, when it is not acted upon, sits inside of me like a corrosive battery. When you act on the impulse you are using the energy of the battery rather than let it poison your innards.
In other words when someone suppresses what they were created to do...in this case it is to create they are ignoring something as nature as breathing.
