A large number of people end up as adults who have little or no sense of themselves as legitimate creators.

waking up
'[the residual purpose of art] is PURPOSELESS PLAY. This play, however, is an affirmation of life - not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we're living, which is so excellent once one gets one's mind and one's desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord'
John Cage, cited in How to be an Explorer of the World
