Wisdom

In my Ceramics IV class yesterday at ACC, we had the opportunity to watch an incredible video on the topic of wisdom. The DVD came with the stunning Wisdom: 50 Unique and Original Portraits by Andrew Zuckerman.

Here's the description from Amazon:
"Inspired by the idea that wisdom is the greatest gift one generation can give to another, award-winning photographer and filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman interviewed, photographed and filmed 50 of the world’s great writers, actors, artists, designers, politicians, musicians and religious and business leaders of our time. He posed seven questions to each of his subjects—all over 65 years of age—and their candid responses offer uniquely inspirational and often surprising insights."

I found this movie to be really thought-provoking and personally touching and inspirational. I found myself jotting down quote after quote, such as Bernice Johnson Reagon's "You just have to go for broke." You can watch a portion of the movie on wisdombook.org.
