Be calm when your wife yells at you, calmer when she chastens you, but be terrified when she ignores you. - Matshona Dhliwayo
Man's first expression, like his first dream, was an aesthetic one. Speech was a poetic outcry rather than a demand for communication. Original man, shouting his consonants, did so in yells of awe and anger at his tragic state, at his own self-awareness and at his own helplessness before the void. - Barnett Newman
