Creativity is not a solitary movement. That is its power. Whatever is touched by it, whoever hears it, sees it, senses it, knows it, it's fed.

One creative act can cause a torrent to break through stone.

Arlie Russell Hochschild

Magic's quite a solitary pursuit - a thing you can do for hours and hours, getting better and better.

I pledged myself to smoke but one cigar a day. I kept the cigar waiting until bedtime, then I had a luxurious time with it. But desire persecuted me every day and all day long. I found myself hunting for larger cigars...within the month my cigar had grown to such proportions I could have used it as a crutch.
