I found this quote brilliant solely because of the incongruous “like” in there. It makes the whole thing turn into a Deep Mystery instead of a Deep Saying.
After all, wouldn’t someone who does the important things also stick to the most important words, ie those with content, unlike “like”? If so, how delightful is the erroneous arrogance of this quote! If not, what a fascinating challenge to my assumptions about the implications of language pattern!
