That everyone you know
Someday will die
And instead of saying

It’s just an illusion caused
by the world spinning round. — The Flaming Lips, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Album

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, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out his creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency, he is not really alive unless he is creating. — Pearl Buck
