“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”

“Dance,' they told me, and I stood still,

and while I stood quiet in line at the gate of the Kingdom, I danced.

'Pray,' they said, and I laughed,

covering myself in the earth's brightnesses,

and then stole off gray into the midst of a revel,

and prayed like an orphan.”
