Certainty is an illusion. Perfect safety is a mirage. Zero is always unattainable, except in the case of absolute zero where, as you remember, all motion and life itself stop. … the biggest risk of all is that we stop taking risks at all."
“Worrying” about a problem or idea. It’s a
good word, because it evokes anxiety and upset while also conjuring an image of
productivity: a dog worrying a bone,
chewing at it to get to the marrow—the rich, meaty part of the problem that
will lead to its solution. In this view of creative momentum, the key to
solving a problem is to take a break from worrying, to move the problem to the
back burner, to let the unwatched pot boil."
