Experience Life

“Ultimately, no one can extract from things, books included, more than he already knows.
What one has no access to through experience one has no ear for.”

- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Ecce Homo

I am now reading a science fiction epic by David Wingrove, Chung Kuo,
and got this profound statement which was quoted from Nietzsche.

In a different context, I guess no artist can create out of more than what
he/she has access to through experience. That is where I need to thank
Hwei Min for giving me access to such unconditional love. :)
