Common experience is the gold reserve which confers an exchange value on the currency which words are; without this reserve of shared experiences, all our pronouncements are checks drawn on insufficient funds.
Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world.
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.
Everybody experiences far more than he understands. Yet it is experience, rather than understanding, that influences behavior.
Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
