The growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement. — Carl Jung

Practice is funny that way. For days and days, you make out only the fragments of what to do. And then one day you've got the thing whole. Conscious learning becomes unconscious knowledge, and you cannot say precisely how. — Atul Gawande
