“About five or six years ago, I was invited to make etchings at the Crown Point Press in California. I accepted immediately, even though I didn’t know how to make them, because about twenty years before, I was invited to trek in the Himalayas, and didn’t. I later discovered that the walk was going to be on elephants with servants, and I’ve always regretted that missed opportunity.”

(John Cage, from an interview in 1982 with Stephen Montague.)
