"There are those who think that analysing and understanding something exquisite somehow negates its beauty, making it cold and emotionless. Nothing could be farther from the truth."
    Bob Lewis, "CTO Survival Guide" column ("More than skin-deep"), Infoworld v. 24, no., 50, 2002-12-16, p. 56.

(I got a pretty steady exposure to the "analysis prevents appreciation" meme growing up, and it was always counter to my experience of the world, so this quote jumped out at me.)
