“In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one.”
“Sometimes we know who we want to be and what we want to do long... long before we know how to get there.”
“The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do.”
“Curious creatures we mortals are-how we do not know what we want, or how to get it if we do.”
“Without stories, how do we know who we are? How can we imagine who we can be?”
“Foolish people ask you, when you speak what they do not wish to hear, "How do you know it is the truth, and not an error of your own?" We know the truth when we see it, from opinion, as we know when we are awake that we are awake.”
