"The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive……" — Jiddu Krishnamurti
"The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things. The Creative is decided and therefore shows to men the easy. The Receptive is yielding and therefore shows to men the simple. Learning is movement from moment to moment."
