De ontdekking
“Whenever I finish a work, I always feel lost, as though a steady anchor has been taken away and there is no sure ground under my feet. During the time between ending one project and beginning another, I always have a crisis of meaning. I begin to wonder what my life is all about and what I have been put on this earth to do. It is as though immersed in a project I lose all sense of myself and must then, when the work is done, rediscover who I am and where I am going.”
Wachtende Tom
“I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.”
-Tom Waits
Nooit een steakje laten vallen
“A guy works all day, he don’t want to look at his plate and ask, ‘What the fuck is this?’ He wants to look at his plate, see a steak, and say ‘I like steak!”
-Pascal, in the film Big Night
Hell
“Religion is for those who don’t want to go to hell, and spirituality is for those who have already been there.”
Doe wel en zie niet om
“A rolIing stone gathers no moss.”
Thanks, come again
“No” simply means begin again one level higher.
Eindjes knopen
“If you have trouble to make all ends meet, have less ends”.
Verdrinken
“You don’t drown by falling in water; you only drown if you stay there.”
– Zig Ziglar
Gezochte incompetentie
“True learning (as opposed to education) is a voluntary experience that requires tension and discomfort (the persistent feeling of incompetence as we get better at a skill).”
– Seth Godin, The Practice
