peter,
there is something that i have seen attributed to both beethoven and
goethe (i suspect it is the latter) and unfortunately, i only remember the
gist of it (i'm usually even less helpful). copies of the quote were handed
out by an opera director i had worked with (john haber) before the
performance of the first opera i had worked on with him.
the idea is that when we commit ourselves fully to something, doors we
never knew about open up to us and help comes from unexpected directions.
hopefully, someone else on the list will be able to identify this quote for
both of us.
another quote i like is from the movie 'breaker morant', "live each
moment as if it were your last and one day, you're sure to be right".
