Excerpt from Csikszentmihalyi’s “Creativity”

WHAT IS SLEEP 

I REALLY DON’T KNOW

Barron explained how, after the experience of grief, ‘the motive is thus generated for searching out other situations which would seem to defy rational construction, with some degree of confidence that after much deprivation, tension, and pain a superior form of pleasure will be attained… the creative artist and the creative scientist appear, when one reads biographical accounts, to have experienced an unusual amount of grief and ordeal in life and to have shouldered burdens of pain that most commonly disable the individual… the creative individual is one who has learned to prefer irregularities and apparent disorder and to trust himself to make a new order.’

Mark Runco’s “Creativity Theories and Themes: Research, Development, and Practice 

Artistic creativity namely may be the untroubled surrender to momentary fantasies or moods, and especially poetical activity by the facilitation of linguistic expression, experience a certain furtherance.
