“Failure is our greatest teacherBlame blinds us to her lessons”

“Love melts the hardest heartsEnters between the cracks”

“Leading people is like cookingDon’t stir too much
It annoys the ingredients
And spoils the food”

“Real life is about accepting ups and downs, the good and the bad, the possibility of failure as well as the ambition to succeed. Atheism speaks to the truth about our human nature because it recognizes all this and does not seek to shield us from the truth by myth and superstition”

“...how time first grounds us and then confounds us....give us enough time and our best-supported decisions will seem wobbly, our certainties whimsical.”

“Our enemy is fear. Blinding, reason-killing fear. Fear consumes the truth and poisons all the evidence, leading us to false assumptions and irrational conclusions.”

“Life isn't just addition and subtraction. There's also the accumulation, the multiplication, of loss, of failure.”
