"I want to interpentrate all that lives, in no matter what form it reveals itself. I want to sow it with love, but I also want to smash the ossified, if need be, for the sake of the creative spirit... I do not want someone simply to accept our insights and join us on that account. An insight (as I understand it) must be attained through necessity, suffering provoked by its very fullness, one must have felt one's self 'uprooted', must have played with life and danced with death, must have suffered for the sake of the intellect and have overcome it through the creative spirit--one must have wrestled with man.

I do not dream of a sect of a community of creative souls, for everyone contains the creative within himself; the creative spirit can manifest itself in its purest expression only in the work of the individual--however, the feeling of community is a blessing and a source of strength for every creator."

- Ernst Toller
