The creative personality obeys a different, higher law than the law of simple duty. For someone who is called to perform a great deed, to carry out a discovery or feat that moves all of humanity forward, for that person his true homeland is no longer his fatherland, but his deed. He feels ultimately responsible only to one authority - to the task that he is destined to solve, and he would rather allow himself to despise state and temporary interests than the internal obligation that his special fate, his special talent have placed on him.

Others, who love their art, devote themselves entirely to their work, forgetting to wash themselves and eat.

Anna Pavlovna Pavlova
The spirit is the master, the imagination is the tool, the body is the obedient material. Each person has his own inner world, created by the power of imagination.
