“In the spiritual and creative experience, there is often no other way but the lonely way, perceiving life from one’s own being, creating oneself as one wants to be, drawing upon one’s own resources, capacities, roots – searching, suffering, struggling to emerge from one’s own solitude, in a quiet place. In such experiences, there is often a fixed determination to one’s own way and a courage to stand alone. The creative person is often lonely because he must be in a world in himself and must find the way in life within himself.”
