ἃ γὰρ δεῖ μαθόντας ποιεῖν, ταῦτα ποιοῦντες μανθάνομεν (What we have to learn to do we learn by doing.)
---- Ἀριστοτέλης (Nic. Eth. 1103a33)
Günther Bachmann: Our sources don't come to us, we find them. We become their friends, their brothers, their fathers, their lovers, if we have to. When they're ours, and only then, we direct them at bigger targets. It takes a minnow to catch a barracuda, a barracuda to catch a shark.
