Can we make an important distinction between 'what I hear' and 'what I would like to hear!'
What I would like to hear evolves slowly; what I hear, I've heard!
What I would like to hear I must find.
The difference is between hearing and imagining, between habit and effort." --Notebook, January 10, 1984

 

"Always remember
--a sense of adventure! What comes next is
both understood
and unexpected
--an evolutionary fantasy!"
