TWO LINES
In 1960, jazz pianist Thelonious Monk shared some advice, captured by saxophonist Steve Lacy. Included in that list was the line -
A GENIUS IS THE ONE MOST LIKE HIMSELF.
In 1962, Kurt Vonnegut wrote a novel with this line -
WE MUST BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT WE PRETEND TO BE.
Two lines. Two reminders of the beauty and majesty that is, ‘ourself’.
