But that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to know what people are talking about. I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.

| Bill Bryson, Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe

"You sell your expertise, you have a limited repertoire. You sell your ignorance, it’s an unlimited repertoire. [Eames] was selling his ignorance and his desire to learn about a subject, and the journey of him not knowing to knowing was his work." —Wurman

"A friend once heard Allen Ginsberg lecture on prophecy; at the end of the talk a young man asked, 'Mr Ginsberg, how does one become a prophet?' Ginsberg replied, 'Tell your secrets.'"

Allen Ginsberg on Prophecy

"Take an interest in your pain and your fear. Move closer, lean in, get curious; even for a moment, experience the feelings without labels, beyond being good or bad. Welcome them. Invite them. Do anything that helps melt the resistance."- Pema Chödrön
