According to how gifted we are, we are all given a large or small key to this treasury of wonders. I have been blessed with a small key to the world of the young.

It is a great pleasure to write there, because the young have what the rest of us only envy, and that is a belief in goodness and perpetual hope (High Quotes)

... I do like the low frequencies. It’s from years and years of observing audiences when they hear a lower frequency coming from an instrument it tends to pull them in. You have to listen a little more attentively. High frequency instruments hit you so hard, after a while the ear has a tendency to want to shut down. And that’s what happens. I’ve been able to observe very carefully how people tend to get very tired of listening to high frequencies a lot (High Quotes)
I think we’ve been through a lot this season and it will be nice to move on. It’s one step at a time though. The focus of our hockey club was great. We really stuck to our game plan and didn’t get too high or too low and we definitely didn’t get over excited (High Quotes)

If you can’t be pretty, you have to learn to make yourself attractive. I found that all the pretty girls I went to high school with came to middle age as frumps, because they just got by with their pretty faces, so they never developed anything. They never learned how to be interesting. But if you are bereft of certain things, you have to make up for them in certain ways. Don’t you think? (High Quotes)
Climbing is a heroic liberating act; and height spontaneously symbolizes things of high value, be it in the value of worldly power or of spirituality. To rise in an elevator, balloon, or airplane is to experience being liberated from weight, sublimated, invested with superhuman abilities. In addition, to rise from the earth is to approach the realm of light and overview. Therefore the negative overcoming of weight is at the same time the positive achievement of enlightenment and an unobstructed outlook (High Quotes)
