“We do not fear being called meticulous, inclining as we do to the view that only the exhaustive can be truly interesting.”

“...only the exhaustive can be truly interesting.”

“We are not called upon to do all the good that is possible, but only that which we can do.”

“Are you paralyzed with fear? That’s a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember one rule of thumb: the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.”

“If we do not know the character of being itself - I have never seen anyone suggest that we do know it - then there is an inevitable superficiality in any claim to an exhaustive description of anything that participates in being. And the assertion of the existence, or the nonexistence, of God is the ultimate exhaustive description.”

“No person can do this or that to keep another from being truly free. We are always free. Even if imprisoned.”
