I've often heard it said a preacher might learn with a comedian for a teacher.
“I have found among my papers a sheet . . . in which I call architecture frozen music.”
“Nothing will change the fact that I cannot produce the least thing without absolute solitude.”
“Wisdom is found only in truth.”
“I know of over 3,000 ways [that] a light bulb does not work.”
“Fine art is the only teacher except torture.”
“Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.”
“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.”
“The cautious seldom err.”
“If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want.”
