The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off...
They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.

This is almost shocking to read. This defines a big part of my son's life. WOW! Thank you. I have always said he needs to learn like he needs water. I feel like I am the only person in the world that truely sees it. (Sometimes I even questioned myself if I am just making this up in my own mind.)It's hard to keep up with this demand. Luckily, he entertains himself alot. He has been making a game for 3 years, which I find amazing.
born abnormally - I have a hard time with this in the quote. We are all different and that good.
Recently, DS was making catapults all day. This was a wonderful happy day. I think some one here suggested the website. Thank you.
