The longest way round is the shortest way home
Life doesn't move in a linear fashion. Life makes lefts and rights, and it doubles back.
If you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.
Sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly.
He goes his way. We travel a spiral. The quickest way is sometimes the longest.
Creativity works on a winding, circuitous route.
Starting a long way off the true point, and proceeding by loops and zigzags , we now and then arrive just where we ought to be.
I can only approach things indirectly, or I can't approach them at all.
It was a long, circuitous route from my mom's real estate business to Netflix. It didn't happen overnight. Or in a year. Or even in ten years. But it happened.
The best path between two points is upside-down, between, then inside-out and round again.
I saw that I'd get nowhere on the straight path, and that to go crookedly was straighter.
That's what we all do: endlessly take the long way around.
I came to acting in a very circuitous way.
Tell all the Truth, but tell it slant/Success in Circuit lies.
The next way home's the farthest way about.
