Freedom in total concentration‏

• 
  

Vision is not in the eyes, it's in the mind.

Music is not in the ears, it's in the heart.

Without passion, is pointless.

Even a string of notes in logarithmic chords.

There is a freedom in total concentration.

The test of a superior intellect

is the ability to hold to opposing ideas in mind,

at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.

What is the role of pleasure and enjoyment?

Perhaps his greater contribution 

is his attitude and his style.

We are speaking of other people;

why bring in yourself?

The man who voyages strange seas

must of necessity be a little unsure of himself.

It is the man with the ashy air of knowing everything,

who is always with it, that we should beware of.

Voyaging through strange seas of thought alone

is not one that any can follow.

Explore that strangeness, 

that is, what is exceptional to a degree 

that excites wonderment and surprise.

When I'm working on a problem,

I never think about beauty

but when I have finished,

if the solution is not beautiful

I know it is wrong.

What is intelligible is also beautiful.

A connection with the highest beauty.
