“Stillness is what aims the archer’s arrow.  It inspires new ideas.  It sharpens perspective and illuminates connections.  It slows the ball down so that we might hit it.  It generates a vision, helps us resist the passions of the mob, makes space for gratitude and wonder.  Stillness allows us to persevere.  To succeed.  It is the key that unlocks the insights of genius, and allows us regular folks to understand them.” ~ Ryan Holiday, via Stillness is the Key (Page 2)
