F
Some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up and touch everything. If you never let that happen, then you just accumulate facts, and they begin to rattle around inside of you.

R
Lying in bed just before going to sleep is the worst time for organized thinking; it is the best time for free thinking. Ideas drift like clouds in an undecided breeze, taking first this direction and then that.
A
Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place, but there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.
N
Often the search proves more profitable than the goal.
K
The adventure is over. Everything gets over, and nothing is ever enough. Except the part you carry with you.
