On individuation

There is nothing more attractive and convincing then spontaneity.

...we know of individuals who are spontaneous, whose thinking, feeling and acting were the expression of their selves and not of an automaton. These individuals are mostly known to us as artists. As a matter of fact, the artist-like the child- can be defined as an individual who can express herself spontaneously. The position of the artist is vulnerable though, for it is really only the successful artist whose individuality or spontaneity is respected; if she doesn't succeed in selling her art, she remans to her contemporaries a crank, a "neurotic". The artist in this matter is in a similar positition to that of the revolutionary .
