Mathew,
Homer Kelley was indeed 'spooky intelligent.' Without hesitation, I use the
word 'genius.' He was without a doubt the most intelligent and most fiercely
independent thinker I have met in my 58 years.
I realize this is not a philosophical thread, but I liked your Chinese quote
and wanted to add my own along the same line:
"The shell must break before the bird can fly."
-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
We all must keep chipping away from within whatever 'shell' we find
ourselves. A life -- like Impact -- happens from the "inside out."
