"Music, feelings of happiness, mythology, faces worn by time, certain twilights and certain places, want to tell us something, or they told us something that we should not have missed, or they are about to tell us something; this imminence of a revelation that is not produced is, perhaps, 'the aesthetic event'."

-- Jorge Luis Borges

And manufacturing, you end up with way more waste than you end up with finished product. It's totally unsustainable. It's just the way it is.”
