There is wisdom and virtue and humor and beauty in the world, not in great abundance it is true, not easy to find, nor easy to disentangle from the mundane with which we are generally surrounded. Still, when we are fortunate enough to happen upon any of these rarities, in whatever form, embodied in language, in music, in the natural world, in the arts or even in people themselves, we take notice and we remember. Words and ideas are the media with which I am most at home. This collection of quotations represents an adult lifetime of working and listening in this vineyard -- the distilled essence of what I have been fortunate enough to discover. May these thoughts light some part of your journey, as they have enriched mine. Richard Bakal
