"It is just the same with our mind and our emotions. There is a pressure against us for self-expression, and when it is expressed our life flows happily, and when we tend to hinder it there is stagnation. The creative impulse must create something or we are unhappy. All art, all invention, all creativity flows from a Divine source through the emotions and the intellect, and we do the best we can with it, blunderingly. Everything that is worthwhile is an effect of the feeling back of it. Back of all creativity is the pressure of our own Divinity to come forth into humanity that It has created in order to enjoy the full-ness of Its own expression."
— Ernest Holmes, Creative Living
