"The conditions of the solitary bird are five:
First, that it flies to the highest point
Second, that it does not suffer for company, not even of its own kind
Third, that it aims its beak at the skies
Fourth, that it does not have a definite color
Fifth, that it sings very softly"
-- San Juan de la Cruz
"It is a sign of wisdom not to do hasty things..."
