I read a quote recently to the effect of:
If you don't reach enlightenment, tend field.
If you reach enlightenment, tend field."
But I can't find the quote to see the source. I tried to look up Nirvana quotes and all I get are shitty song lyrics.

I'm trying to find an inspiring quote for my violin frustration -- Something to the effect of regardless of how it's going, keep playing.

With violin, it's definite targeted practice. And practice. I can't pick it up osmotically by just holding it while watching TV. I know because I've tried.
It's just constant challenge after anohter. And then I start a bad habit, like keeping my elbow up, or clutching with my left hand. Gotta practice to relax while practicing. Mellow and confident.
It sounds like someone mashed Voltaire and Zen.
*embarrassed*
I thought it was an Opera
wait. Why did I say Rousseau and not Voltaire? Man, I am OFF this week. I quit
