>"For a creative person, marriage is a terrible risk. I had the indescribably good fortune to find a wife who gave me ample space to breathe. Without that I would not have been able to do my work at all. I need to be able to think thoughts that transcend all limits, and for another person this could be devastating. Someone imprisoned in standard ways of thinking, in a relationship with a person like that, might simply lurch from one crisis to the next. The essential question in any marriage is whether each of the partners is able to be their true selves, to self-actualize, and also allow the other partner – the husband or the wife – the freedom to follow his or her own path of individuation. A woman who is further ahead and more mature than her husband calls the tune without him knowing it, because she gives him so much space that he never even notices."
