New favorite

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. 
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off... 
They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.  - Pearl Buck
GIRL PARTS is nominated for six Indie Intertube Awards, including BEST COMEDY.  The awards are this Sunday and they just released a promo about the show.  The promo starts with the above quote.  I hadn't heard the quote before and now...well, now it might be one of my favorites.
