Women in our culture are raised to be care-givers, and as such, their identity and self worth are defined primarily by that role. For most women, it is a major psychological achievement to shift their primary identification and sense of worth to the development of their talent. Mary Rocamora Creating is a harrowing business. I work in a state of anguish all year. I shut myself up, I don’t go out. It’s a hard life, which is why I understand Proust so well; I have such an admiration for what he has written about the agony of creation. Yves Saint Laurent I’ve never felt this love from anyone. She’s not anyone. Oasis There is one thing in this world, which you must never forget to do. Human beings come into this world to do particular work. That work is their purpose, and each is specific to the person. If you forget everything else and not this, there’s nothing to worry about. If you remember everything else and forget your true work, then you will have done nothing in your life. Rumi I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart’s affections and the truth of the imagination. John Keats This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a great one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. George Bernard Shaw
