| For me, yes. I've lost so many umbrellas. But that reminds me of a story I heard told by Alejandro Jodorowsky,[1] about being at a dinner at Dali's home and Dali telling him about the times when he and Picasso used to go for walks on the beach, and they would keep finding clocks buried in the sand. Then, Dali asked Jodorowsky whether he too had ever found any clocks in the sand on the beach. Jodorowsky thought, "What could I say to the great Dali? If I say that yes, I have found clocks in the sand, then I would seem arrogant. And if I say that I never found any clocks, then I would seem like a little man." "So I thought for a while and then said, 'No, Dali, I have never found any clocks in the sand. But I have lost a lot.'"[2] [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_Jodorowsky [2] - The quotes are not verbatim. This is from memory of an interview I saw with Jodorowsky, which I can not find right now. If anyone has a link to it and can provide a verbatim quote, that would be appreciated. |
