"Our brains are dulled by the incurable mania of wanting to make the unknown known."
- André Breton

"Do not seek the treasure."
- Coen Brothers, O Brother Where Art Thou

"With nothing can one approach a work of art so little as with critical words: they always come down to more or less happy misunderstandings. Things are not all so comprehensible and expressible as one would mostly have us believe; most events are inexpressible, taking place in a realm which no word has ever entered, and more inexpressible than all else are works of art, mysterious existences, the life of which, while ours passes away, endures."
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet
