"The wise fool can be cryptic. He'll say the best way to see something is with your ears. Initially, this may seem weird, but after you've thought about it, you might agree that listening to a story conjures up more images than watching television."
-Roger von Oech, as excerpted from here
 
 
"Of course, this is the problem with most New Year's resolutions – that the only thing between us and our goals is self-discipline."
