"<p>The intellectual creative worker needs exactly the same coaching methods, training, health, and exercise regimen as the champion fencer, the show rider, or the powerlifter. You cannot make a trip in seconds from a dull, sordid, unclean lifestyle to the highest human endeavor, the arena of creative spiritual work.</p> <p>The way of life, the simple and everyday conduct of life, the diet, the environment, the daily routine, all these things determine the quality of a poem or a study.</p> <p>You cannot talk to God from five to five thirty in the afternoon if you have lived like a pig during the night and day. A greedy, avaricious, or mean lifestyle throws waste into the sea of your work. Constant exercise is necessary to think, and to create you need something else too.</p>"
