The Muse visits during the act of creation, not before. Don't wait for her. Start alone. Roger Ebert
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained. Mahatma Gandhi
