Aphorism III
Kevin Griffith

There can never be a partial whole.

You don’t need a reservation for the last supper.

I can’t say enough about silence.

No matter how many birds you use, you cannot kill even one stone.

I travelled back in time only to find out that history repeats itself.

The life you want is always longer than the one you have.

There’s no place like nowhere.

The river’s answer to everything is more river.
