“What’s new?” is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and fashion, the silt of tomorrow.
I would like, instead, to be concerned with the question “What is best?”
-from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values
What is best? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women, of course.
