Sylvia Nasar Quote

In The Dynamics of Creation, Anthony Storr, the British psychiatrist, contends that an individual who fears love almost as much as he fears hatred may turn to creative activity not only out of an impulse to experience aesthetic pleasure, or the delight of exercising an active mind, but also to defend himself against anxiety stimulated by conflicting demands for detachment and human contact.21
