“The ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness. I mean it is a combination of both.
I mean here is natural instinct and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony.
Not if you have one to the extreme, you'll be very unscientific.

No longer a human being.
It is a successful combination of both.
That way it is a process of continuing growth.
Be water, my friend.”
