"We scarcely know how much of our pleasure……" — Ursula K. Le Guin
"We scarcely know how much of our pleasure and interest in life comes to us through our eyes until we have to do without them; and part of that pleasure is that the eyes can choose where to look. But the ears can't choose where to listen."
