What they mean by these words seems to me to be this. When they say a work is grossly unintelligible, they mean that the artist has said or made a beautiful thing that is new; when they describe a work as grossly immoral, they mean that the artist has said or made a beautiful thing that is true.”

“If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck”

“Can you believe we still around?after so many hit the ground and we ain't gon' stop now until we get that wisdom”

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
