Creativity and Anxiety

Creativity comes from a refusal to run, a “willing encounter with anxiety and what lies beyond it. It is an opening up to the unknown, the unconscious. And it can be terrifying. The real trick is learning to use the anxiety to work rather than escape. And all of this requires immense courage, the courage to create.”

-Stephen A. Diamond
