If I had not passed through trial - through passion, one could say - through these years so painful and so rich, I don't believe I could take on my life and my career as I do today.
If a queen bee were crossed with a Friesian bull, would not the land flow with milk and honey?
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
