Creative process in writing: Eric Hoffer discusses creativity

“No invention could ever take the hard work out of creating good writing, painting, composing, inventing, etc.”

“The economy of the spirit is incurably an economy of scarcity. An affluent society might be able to dispense with the ethic of work in its everyday life, but to attain any sort of excellence, it will have to implant implacable taskmasters in the breasts of its people.”

“Without the discipline of the creative effort, the affluent society will be without stability.” ______ Eric Hoffer(1)
