Quote by Jerome Wiesner

Some problems are just too complicated for rational, logical solutions. They admit of insights, not answers.

Some problems are just too complicated for rational, logical

Summary

This quote suggests that certain problems cannot be solved by simple logic or rational thinking alone. These complex issues require deeper understanding and insights that go beyond straightforward answers. It implies that in these cases, the solution lies in developing new perspectives and gaining a deeper comprehension of the problem rather than looking for a definitive answer. These problems may be multifaceted or involve subjective factors, making it necessary to approach them with a more intuitive or creative mindset in order to gain valuable insights.

I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents! It's an art form. I talk a lot. And I think a lot. And I draw a lot. But never in a million years would I have been a parent. That's just work that's too hard.

One of the juiciest pleasures of life is to be able to salute and embrace, as elected leaders and honored representatives, people whom you first met when they were on the run or in exile or (like Adam) in and out of jail. I was to have this experience again, and I hope to have it many more times in the future: it sometimes allows me to feel that life is full of point.

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.
