"An enormous part of our mature experience cannot not be expressed in words." ― Alfred North Whitehead Topic(s): Experience More From Alfred North Whitehead "Intelligence is quickness to apprehend as distinct form ability, which is capacity to act wisely on the thing apprehended." "If a dog jumps into your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer." "Knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows." More In Experience "Sometimes I get so bold and I’m so confident about what I’m doing that I actually try to be more of a dork because it’s a really liberating feeling to experience what it’s like to not care."― John Mayer "Things happen to everybody in the course of a lifetime. Relationships end, people die, tragedy befalls everyone. So everyone has this wealth of experience, and the older you are the more you have to draw on."― Eric Stoltz "He makes me laugh, Mick! He tended to turn up when we were having lunch and entertain us all. He bought an Enigma machine! I’ve never worked with a producer who was more famous than everyone put together."― Saffron Burrows
