It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

I decided that i want to live the rest of my life happy with what i'm doing. so when i play tennis again, i have to play it for the right reason. i don't want to play to get my no. 1 ranking back. i don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. i don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. i only want to play because i love the game, which is the reason i began to play at age seven in the first place.

The spirit of playful competition is, as a social impulse, older than culture itself and pervades all life like a veritable ferment. ritual grew up in sacred play; poetry was born in play and nourished on play; music and dancing were pure play....we have to conclude, therefore, that civilization is, in its earliest phases, played. it does not come from play...it arises in and as play, and never leaves it.

There are two kinds of music - good music and bad music. good music is music that i want to hear. bad music is music that i don't want to hear.
