Perhaps you know me well enough by now to realize that I see the major issue of life not in the terms of the outcome of the struggle for dominance, but in the terms of the outcome of the struggle to maintain active creativeness. Creativeness, however, depends in the last analysis on the ability to be in touch with the playful child deep in the personality, and thus on the ability to maintain the freshness of the child's encounter with the world. All mature creativity … depends on our capacity to encourage the growth of that inner freedom.
