About this quote
A deep tradition doesn't give up its worth on a first skim. What looks simple from the shore rewards the person willing to keep going under — each layer of study or practice opening onto something the shallow pass never reached.
When to use it
- A musician who spends years inside one composer's work and keeps finding phrasing they had missed.
- A reader returning to the same scripture each year and pulling new meaning from familiar lines.
- A gardener who, after a decade on one small plot, still learns something new about the soil each season.
