About This Quote
The depth of despair one experiences during the creative process (as experienced say, in an abysmally blank page or canvas) is directly proportional to the scope and power of the work that emerges when it breaks. The great American Artist, Georgia O'Keefe had this to say about the creative process: "Every time I go back there I get lost, and I can't find my way out again. It's like a deep cave with an unknown object at the bottom."
