"Creativity is uncomfortable. It is [creative people's] dissatisfaction with the present that drives them on to make changes.
Creative people, like those with psychotic illnesses, tend to see the world differently to most. It's like looking at a shattered mirror. They see the world in a fractured way.
There is no sense of conventional limitations and you can see this in their work. Take Salvador Dali, for example. He certainly saw the world differently and behaved in a way that some people perceived as very odd."
— Mark Millard, quoted in Creative minds 'mimic schizophrenia' by Michelle Roberts, BBC News
