Unlike the primate hand, the elephant's grasping organ is also its nose. Elephants use their trunks not only to reach food but also to sniff and touch it. With their unparalleled sense of smell, the animals know exactly what they are going for. Vision is secondary.

Im Gegensatz zur Primatenhand ist das Greiforgan des Elefanten auch seine Nase. Elefanten nutzen ihre Stämme nicht nur, um Nahrung zu erreichen, sondern auch, um sie zu schnuppern und zu berühren. Mit ihrem unvergleichlichen Geruchssinn wissen die Tiere genau, was sie wollen. Vision ist zweitrangig.

What was funny if you were there is that we were all immensely sophisticated people who knew exactly what she was going to say and we're chatting away, nice to see you.

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

Any time I claimed to be white, that would be unacceptable. It just doesn't make sense in people's minds. If I'm white, how can I walk through a department store and still have people scared that I'm going to rob them? Which, that can still happen.

I think the composer and production staff of an opera have a real responsibility to use visual elements of all kinds to make clear to the American audience, at any rate, exactly what is going on.
