But if we endeavor to find out, the “who is who”, the “what is what” and the “where is Waldo”, we might demonstrate our social literacy and connectedness. ("Fish for silence.")”

“When you see the extent to which people try, like the tremors of a ballet dancer, or the intensity of a pianist, or a mural containing the details of tiny little people making up the background-- you see the vulnerable extension of our private selves. There is an element inside us and it wavers between beauty and madness. You know it when you see it, like a hyperactive atom bouncing in a tube. It is like trying, really trying, and when we do, we are in our most honest forms. When we reach, we expose the contents of the human spirit. The more often we see it spill, the more encouraged we are to go further. And we can go further than others, in joyous competition. After all, it is called the human race, no?”

“I was unprepared in a truly hilarious fashion, but I have learned this about endeavor— that we are never prepared. We are always overwhelmed at some point. And I have learned that the human spirit is fierce, that it enables us to do things that we set out to do, the things that cannot be prepared for, the things we would never have set out to do if we had known what it would’ve taken at the start.”

“Not speaks one who spoke,
There speaks one who wilt speak,
May another find what he will speak!
Not a teller of tales after they happen.
This has been done before ;
Nor a teller of what might be said,
This is vain endeavor, it is lies.
And none will recall his name to others.
I say this in accord with what I have seen:
From the first generation to those who come after,
They imitate that which is past.”
