“I’m trying to find these rare moments where you feel completely illuminated. Facts never illuminate you. The phone directory of Manhattan doesn’t illuminate you, although it has factually correct entries, millions of them. But these rare moments of illumination that you find when you read a great poem, you instantly know. You instantly feel this spark of illumination. You are almost stepping outside of yourself and you see something sublime.”" Werner Herzog

It's not very successful ... But a good way to lose friends.
I love your works.

On the other hand, it beats being an automaton. I enjoy my free will and have the scars to prove it...

I've had to learn a lot the hard way, caused some people pain or heartache, scraped my elbows and knees, so now I know how to keep my eyes open and pay attention to what I'm looking at... It is an expensive education.
