“Il meglio è l'inimico del bene." Those words are well over a thousand years old, in a language I don’t even speak, and yet they speak to me more profoundly than most of what the supposed wise spout on the regular down there in the public square. The perfect is the enemy of the good. Confused? That’s okay. The meaning took me some time to understand. Striving for perfection, to improve ourselves, understanding we will never get there in this life, that is a good thing. Giving up on good things because we want perfect things, which, again, we won’t get in this life? That is the height of folly.”
J.M. Anjewierden, Running Black
“What are we? As humans, I mean. Are we the sum of our parts, merely some trillions of cells acting out the directives of our DNA? Are we a spirit, an immortal being temporarily inhabiting those trillions of cells? Or perhaps, we are both, and the sum of our parts – infinite and finite – is far greater than that of either alone.”
J.M. Anjewierden, Running Black
