Melancholy is an active state. When we’re melancholic, we feel uneasy with the way things are, the status quo, the conventions of our society. We yearn for a deeper, richer relationship with the world. And in that yearning, we’re forced to explore the potential within ourselves – a potential we might not have explored if we were simply content. We come up with new ways of seeing the world and new ways of being in the world. Melancholy and creativity go together.”<br/><br/> - <em><strong>Alexander Stutterheim</strong>, post on <a href="http://stutterheim.se/melancholy-and-creativity/">Melancholy & Creativity</a> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://jonathanmoore.com/">jonathanmoore</a>)</em>http://beak.cygnoir.net/post/14350425263http://beak.cygnoir.net/post/14350425263Sat, 17 Dec 2011 11:51:04 +0000melancholycreativity<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw9my5jQHE1qzrlhgo1_400.gif"/><br/><br/><p>I just broke something laughing at this.
