becoming what one is is a creative act comparable with creating a work of art. it is freeing oneself from the tyranny of one's upbringing; emancipating oneself from convention, from education, from class, from religious belief, from all the social constraints, prejudices, and assumptions which prevent one from realizing one's own nature in its totality.

Anthony Storr, Music and the Mind, 1992, p. 153
