I came across a reflection by Nick Cave today in which he suggested two qualities for a fulfilling life:

Humility and curiosity.

Humility allows one to be wrong.

Curiosity makes one want to understand.

I like that combination.

Inspired by Maria Popova in one of her articles in The Marginalian, 2026.
