Those who have reached the pinnacle of their field of endeavour develop an astonishing ability to make even the most complex and difficult ideas accessible. They are able to communicate clearly because they see clearly.
Their passionate embrace lifts people up.
"Heaven preserve me from littleness and pleasantness and smoothness. Give me great glaring vices, and great glaring virtues, but preserve me from the neat little neutral ambiguities. Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute, be despotic, be an anarchist, be a suffraggette, be anything you like, but for pity's sake be it to the top of your bent. Live fully, live passionately, live disastrously." Violet Trefusis 1918 |
