Jennifer,
I couldn't find exactly what you were looking for, but you might want to
consider one of the following:
Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery
and travail.
- Theodore Dreiser
All art is a revolt against man's fate.
- André Malraux
I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a
distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this
conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy
is disturbing - not perfect.
_Henry Moore
I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation
is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult
search within.
-Louise Nevelson
The dream reveals the reality which conception lags behind. That is the
horror of life -- the terror of art.
-Franz Kafka
