Big Magic: Creative Living
Human artistic expression is blessedly, refreshingly nonessential. That's exactly why I love it so much. {...} The fact that I get to spend my life making objectively useless things means {...} I am not exclusively chained to the grind of mere survival. It means we still have space left in our civilization for the luxuries of imagination and beauty and emotion - and even total frivilousness.Pure creativity is magnificent expressly because it is the opposite of everything else in life that's essential or inescapable {food, shelter, medicine {...}}. Pure creativity is something better than necessity; it's a gift. It's the frosting.

Fahrenheit 451
Last night I thought about all that kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before." He got out of bed."It took some man a lifetime maybe to put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life and then I come along in two minutes and boom! it's all over.""Let me alone," said Mildred. "I didn't do anything.""Let you alone! That's all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were bothered? About something important, about something real?
