Carl Gustav Jung - From the Contemplation category:

Carl Gustav Jung - From the Greatness category:
The biographies of great artists make it abundantly clear that the creative urge is often so imperious that it battens on their humanity and yokes everything to the service of the work, even at the cost of health and ordinary human happiness. The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself, quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle.

Carl Gustav Jung - From the Play category:
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. (Carl Gustav Jung)
Carl Gustav Jung - From the Play category:

The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable. (Carl Gustav Jung)
