One of many factors of the creative process

"So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation, which in the face of a civilization, artificially creates hell on earth, and complicates a destiny that is divine, with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age-the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of woman by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night-are not solved; so long as, in certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless."-Victor Hugo; preface to "Les Miserables"
