If you do everything for one reason, then all you have done will become meaningless when the reason does. - James Richardson

I’m surprised that multiple personalities are so much less common in reality than in fiction: what a little disorder it would take, a distraction, a sleep, for one of our minor characters to imagine he was the star, to speak out for everyone else. And that’s what it would be, a change of billing, not of authorship. For you do not write your play—you are just the character in it called The Playwright. The real writer, you never meet.

There are crimes I don’t commit mainly because I don’t want to find out I could.

A strange gratitude for those I disagree with. They keep me from having to take too seriously the moments when I disagree with myself.
