“The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance.”
“The greatest challenge of my life has been to see and accept the actual truth without great pain and struggle against it.”
“The challenge for all of us in this day and age is to distinguish between the merely surprising and the truly amazing.”
“I'll challenge senators and kings for the right to know the truth, but far be it from me to challenge a woman in her own kitchen.”
