Gustav Mahler put composing in a simile:
Composing is like playing with bricks, continually making new buildings from the same old stones.
Composing your life is different. The more education you have, the more you have of life's building blocks. And so the more your possibilities.
(Quoted from page 350 of The Life of the Creative Spirit, by H. Charles Romesburg. Xlibris, 2001.)
