The nuns taught us there are two ways through life … the way of Nature… and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy... when all the world is shining around it... when love is smiling through all things. They taught us that no one who loves the way of grace... ever comes to a bad end. (Terrence Malick, "The tree of life") Most of the other performers tried to put themselves across, rather than the song, but I didn't care about doing that. With me, it was about putting the song across. (Bob Dylan) Zu mir bleich Blumchen leise spricht: "Lieb Bruderchen, pflucke mich!" Zu Blumchen sprech ich: "Das tu ich nicht. Ich pflucke nimmermehr dich. Ich such mit Müh und Nod Die Blume purpurrot" (Heinrich Heine)
