"[B]eing exposed to more than what is available to you in your immediate sphere of life is an important variable in the equation of growth. To put it simply, you gotta "go to know." You've got to step outside of what is familiar to you because falling prey to comfort only prevents you from experiencing the fullness of life that different people, places, and languages have to offer."
–– Quincy Jones (b. 1933), American record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer.
