The essence of training is to allow error without consequence.

History is an omlette. THe eggs are already broken.

The lives of all people flow through time, and, regardless of how brutal one moment may be, how filled with grief or pain or fear, time flows through all lives equally.

In all my study of history, I have never found a time or place I would rather have lived than now.

I have never resisted the lord in my life, and I never will. But I'm not so hungry for dialogue with him that I have to make up his part as well as my own.

He is dangerous, he is beautiful, I could drown in his understanding.

The only people who ever prize purity of ignorance are those who profit from a monopoly on knowledge.
