La creatividad como don

An artist does not belong to himself and must not be proud. There is no reason to be proud; on one hand this talent is in fact not yours (it is God who gave it to you), on the other hand, one's talent must be used to serve others. It is an enormous responsibility. At the end of your life, you have to return ten, a thousand times more, a million times... I am always amazed by people who are proud of their own talent. I simply don't understand.

Andrei Tarkovski


yo: la cosa es que para regresar diez o mil veces más de lo que recibiste te tienes que arriesgar a vivir, incluso a perder lo recibido. En la parábola de los talentos se castiga al que entierra el talento por miedo, al que se queda sentado con tal de no arriesgar, de no equivocarse, escondido y seguro.
