“...when truths disappear, they leave behind blank spaces, and that is also dangerous.”

“Teddy grinned again. 'Truths are dangerous,' he said. -'Then why are you writing them in a book?'-'To catch them between the pages,' said Teddy, 'and trap them before they disappear.'-'If they're dangerous, why not let them disappear?'-'Because when truths disappear, they leave behind blank spaces, and that is also dangerous.”

“What happens when an essayist starts imagining things, making things up, filling in blank spaces, or — worse yet — leaving the blanks blank?”

“Relief is a short-lived emotion, passive and thin. The agony of doubt disappears, leaving little memory of how it really felt. Life aligns behind the new truth.”

“Don't leave your life a blank page. Make each word count and leave behind something worth reading.”

“The truth is not so important as the leaving of it behind.”
