Quote by Oscar Wilde

Ignorance is like a delicate fruit; touch it, and the bloom is gone.

Ignorance is like a delicate fruit; touch it, and the bloom

Summary

This quote suggests that ignorance is fragile and easily destroyed. The comparison to a delicate fruit signifies its vulnerability. Just as the bloom vanishes when a fruit is touched, ignorance fades away when confronted with knowledge or truth. It implies that once ignorance is exposed or challenged, there is no chance of maintaining the same level of ignorance. The quote encourages seeking knowledge and being open to new information, as discovering the truth or gaining understanding transforms ignorance into enlightenment.

Music can also be a sensual pleasure, like eating food or sex. But its highest vibration for me is that point of taking us to a real understanding of something in our nature which we can very rarely get at. It is a spiritual state of oneness.
