Open Pace

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or pace:

“The role of the writer is not simply to arrange Being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to Being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning further than the author himself can see or perceive.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)

“We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.”
