You could never teach other people anything that mattered. The important things they had to learn for themselves, almost always by making mistakes, so that the lessons arrived too late to help.

Everyone creates their own story and moves on. That's it. I don't feel particularly important. What we create is not important. We're very insignificant.
Oscar Niemeyer
