The Autonomous Existence of Speech in the Dialogical Creative Act

There is no equality between the creator and his creation. It represents his ideas and feelings, his thoughts, and experiences, but once on the page or canvas, it ceases to be his. The only connection between them are the meaning-filled words which, combined with the moment's atmosphere and mood, represent the trace of the past and the frozenness of the moment. Creativity is a self-absorption; it is always a coming out of oneself, because coming out is freedom. The relationship between the creator and creation takes place only at the level of dialogue.
