All the worlds a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. – William Shakespeare
Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave. – G. I. Gurdjieff
There was endless action – not just football, but sailboats, tennis and other things: movement. There was endless talk – the ambassador at the head of the table laying out the prevailing wisdom, but everyone else weighing in with their opinions and taking part. – Charles Spalding
