"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane
by those who could not hear the music."
-FriedrichWilhelm Nietzche
The
answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery.
If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking.
I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- hey think they have, so
they stop thinking.
But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery,
plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom.
The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer."
-Ken Kesey
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one

And that has made all the difference!"
