"I had absorbed a surrealist point of view: to keep myself open to wonder, to be endlessly curious, to revere the imagination, never to cease to desire more of life.  And above all, to track the marvelous.  This quest is a search for one's self and the renewal of one's self."  

-John Bernard Myers (from "Tracking the Marvelous")
