Words of Wisdom

We are here, charged with the task
of completing (one might say creating)
ourselves.

William Cook

William Blake, Proverbs of Hell

Without music, life is a journey through a desert.

True philosophers who are burning with love for truth and learning never see themselves . . . as wise man, brim- full of knowledge . . . For most of them would admit that even the very greatest number of things of which we know is only equal to the very smallest fraction of things of which we are ignorant. Nor are these philosophers so addicted to any kind of tradition or doctrine that they suffer themselves to become their slaves, and thus lose their liberty.
-William Harvey
