We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us. -Marcel Proust-
The most dangerous thing in the world is to think you understand something. -Zen Saying-
Concert pianist Vladimir Horowitz tells about the time he played a dissonant contemporary composition at a private gathering. When he finished, someone asked, "I don't understand what that composition means, Mr. Horowitz. Could you please explain it?" Without a word, Horowitz played the composition again, and when he finished he turned to his questioner and said, "that's what it means."
Life is an unanswered question, but let's believe in the dignity and importance of the question.
-Tennesee Williams-
Winter is not a personal experience; everyone else is as cold as you are; so don't complain about it too much. - Garrison Keillor -
