• Wine give strenght to weary men. and
  And wine can of their wits the wise beguile.
  Make the sage frolic, and the serious smile. and
  Let those who drink not, but austerely dine,
  Dry up in law; the muses smell of wine. and
  No poem was ever written by a drinker of water. and
  Bacchus opens the gate of the heart. and
  Might to inspire new hopes and powerful
  To drown the bitterness of cares.

• In the art of teaching, we recognize that ideas and insights need to cook over a period of time.
  Sometimes the student who is least articulate about expressing the ideas is in fact the one who is absorbing
  and processing them most deeply. This applies as well to our own private learning of our art form; the
  areas in which we feel most stuck and most incompetent may be our richest gold mine of developing
  material. The use of silence in teaching then becomes very powerful.
