“A man who follows an ‘intellectual profession’ must pause time after time in the midst of his activity as he becomes aware of the paradox he is pursuing.”
Martin Buber, “Healing through Meeting”
I'll go with something from Arthur Miller: "I wish I had a routine for writing. I get up in the morning and I go out to my studio and I write. And then I tear it up! That's the routine, really. Then, occasionally, something sticks. And then I follow that. The only image I can think of is a man walking around with an iron rod in his hand during a lightning storm."
