It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.

The stranger is close to us, insofar as we feel between him and ourselves common features of a national, social, occupational, or generally human, nature. He is far from us, insofar as these common features extend beyond him or us, and connect us only because they connect a great many people.

The only way to escape the system is to play with it, to manipulate it, to turn it against itself.

I don’t play to be remembered, I play to inspire.
