Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks 
after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. to them… a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create — so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off… they must create, must pour out creation. by some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating… I must create."

Artistic 
while, first, the border is not sharp at all, and second, it is not a from 1 to 10 value of creativity you born with
it's something (a point of view, way of thinking mostly) that can be learned (i'm not sure it can be thaught, though) and practiced
i think this assumption is hidden in those who consider themselves artists, and in those who consider themselves normal and it is one of the most important things to fight against
so, what i miss from this otherwise absolutly great quote, is that it forgets to tell you that this is a way to go, not a description of how some people are
To be honest I didn't read it the same way you have, but in rereading it I can see how you've come to that conclusion. I think the fault lies in the first bit... "The truly creative mind". As if anything other isn't true.
And I don't think that's the case. I think there's a wide variety of creativity. And not everyone is this way. But I DO think that this applies to a good deal of people who create - they feel the world more than others.
You know?
I, personally, don't think that creativity can be taught. I think it's something that you are born with and it's either fostered and cared for. Or it's destroyed over time.
but do you think it can be learnt? because if not, then i think the world sucks, and i'd hate to think that
also i'd like to think it's a not a variety, if you - by variety - mean "lot of types", but it's a ... you know, sort of a wide range without distinct borderlines
Painting pretty images is quite often dangerous, though, and your criticism is still valid. It's a good thing you put it forth -- but it's an even better thing that you can appreciate the beauty of the quote regardless. Now there's hope for erasing artificial borders.
