The Big Think

“I think if you left grownups to do what they really actually wanted most in all the world to do, every single one of them would lie down and take a nap for the rest of their life. I know this because that’s what every grownup does as soon as they’re alone. Even if they claim they’re going to read or watch a vid they always end up taking a nap. I hope I’m never so old that taking a nap is the most fun thing to do. I mean, how is that different from being dead, except for the air conditioning?”
Orson Scott Card Lovelock, P. 205 (Diana)

“Failure, for some people, is a vital survival skill. To work at an artistic level that has some chance of changing the world means risking that your work will change you. Not everyone can sustain themselves through that process. Not everyone can be honest enough to face their internal booby traps and hollow places, let alone those lurking in the world. Court fools and medieval magicians used to say that magic always had a price, even the littlest bit of it. To the extent that drive and talent are magic they are right, and for those unwilling to pay the toll, small risks and little failures are the safer road.”
