“To cut off the confusion and accept an answer just because it's too scary not to have an answer is a good way to get the wrong answer.”

“a heck of a lot of things are bound to go wrong in a world as big as this one. And if there's an answer to why it's that way - and there ain't always - why, it's probably not just one answer by itself, but thousands of answers.”

“People like to accept answers that align with their own suspicions. They like answers that they don’t have to really consider before accepting, because they’re more concerned with the cares that are directly in front of them.”

“If by now you're a little confused, don't be too hard on yourself. Life is confusing, and anyone who claims that she has all the answers has probably uncovered the wrong ones.”

“Good question, but no answer. Good questions never have answers.”

“Ask most people who live in a home and have a mortgage on it whether they own their own home and the answer is almost guaranteed to be a resounding 'yes'. Yet it's the wrong answer. Technically speaking, until they have paid the mortgage off, they don't own it. Herein lies the difference between reality and illusion, between ownership and control. This confusion lies not only at the individual level, but also at the heart of government thinking.”
