“A good historian always provides for an exit in case of fire. "Probably," "allegedly," "it is possible...”
“Divorce is a fire exit. When a house is burning, it doesn’t matter who set the fire. If there is no fire exit, everyone in the house will be burned!”
“With respect to the requirement of art, the probable impossible is always preferable to the improbable possible.”
“Worry not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and distrust of God's providence.”
“This was good, except that now I had two crazed, burning zombies standing between me and the exit, plus another one that wasn’t on fire. I had not thought this plan through at all.”
“Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.”
