we are having another creative burst — a moment when you produce something off key.
My source:
“This is all better said by Kierkegaard, in a parable:
"The Dog Kennel by the Palace"
To what shall we compare the relation between the thinker's system and his actual existence?”
A thinker erects an immense building, a system, a system which embraces the whole of existence and world-history etc.-and if we contemplate his personal life, we discover to our astonishment this terrible and ludicrous fact, that he himself personally does not live in this immense high-vaulted palace, but in a barn alongside of it, or in a dog kennel, or at the most in the porter's lodge. If one were to take the liberty of calling his attention to this by a single word, he would be offended. For he has no fear of being under a delusion, if only he can get the system completed . . . by means of the delusion.” ~Zadie Smith
