Quotes from
The True Spirit of Adventure:
And now you are ready for the most exciting game of all.
Donald Duck: Oh, boy!
The True Spirit of Adventure: And the playing field for this game is in the mind.
[Fade in to Donald's mind, revealing a disorganized room with dusty file cabinets]
The True Spirit of Adventure: Uh-oh. Look at the condition of your mind: antiquated ideas! Bungling! False concepts! Superstitions! Confusion! To think straight, we'll have to clean house.
[the cabinets close and a broom starts sweeping by itself; Donald's face contorts as dust and moths fly out of his head]
The True Spirit of Adventure: There, that's more like it. A nice clean sweep.
The True Spirit of Adventure: The profusion of mathematical forms brings to mind the words of Pythagoras: "Everything is arranged according to number and mathematical shapes." Yes, there's mathematics in music, in art, in just about everything. And as the Greeks have guessed, the rules are always the same.
[as the Pytagoreans play music]
Donald Duck: What's going on?
The True Spirit of Adventure: Shh, it's a jam session.
Donald Duck: Gimme something with a beat.
The True Spirit of Adventure: Shh!
[Donald plays a urn like a bongo drum; the Pytagoreans play along]
