One can create mildly. One can live at a low flame. Most people do. We're afraid to look foolish, or feel too extravagantly, or make a mistake, or risk unnecessary pain….For some, life is an exercise in moderation. The best china is saved for special occasions and thus rarely enjoyed. One fears intensity. But, given something like death, what does it matter if one looks foolish now and then, or tries too hard, or cares too deeply? ~ Diane Ackerman, Deep Play
