Quote

You feed yourself. Make sure you have all the information, whether it's aesthetic, scientific, mathematical, I don't care what it is. Then you walk away from it and let it ferment. You ignore it and pretend you don't care. Next thing you know, the answer comes.

Zest. Gusto. How rarely one hears these words used. How rarely do we see people living, or for that matter, creating, by them.

I would only warn him to look to his zest, see to his gusto.
