Specialists are people who always repeat the same mistakes.

With but a few exceptions, we don't have this personal study under masters any more. Craftsmanship has sunk very low. We no longer have any universally creative persons who are able to guide young learners not only in technical matters but also, at the same time, in a formal way.

It's important to learn and not repeat the same mistakes. What's done is done.

I don't want to repeat my mistakes.

As long as you learn from your mistakes you are guaranteed you won't repeat them.

My sole aim is to leave everything in suspension, in flux, in order to avoid our community solidifying into a conventional academy. Our initial resources may be few, but our spirits are high, receptive, and excited, and that seems to me to be the most important thing right now.
