    irrational longer than you can remain solvent

  6. "In our lives today, we don't leave enough room for empty spots, for doing nothing. This concept of doing nothing, which has nothing to do with just not doing something, is also an activity and an exercise --- Compare doing nothing to a pause in music. A pause is not a lack of music, it is an integral part of the composition. If a conductor does not hold a pause to the full value, it is like cutting into the flesh. As Claude Debussy has said, 'Music is the space between the notes.' The masters of good phrasing, like good martial artists, are men who pay as much attention to pause and silence (nonaction) as to action."

    Bruce laughed and said: "He's right, you know. That pause in the middle of action is one of my secrets, too. Many martial artists attack with the force of a storm without observing the effect of their attack on their opponent. When I attack, I always try to pause - stop action - to study my opponent and his reactions before going into action again. I include pause and silence along with activity, thus allowing myself time to sense my own internal processes as well as my opponent's."
