Reason is the lesser faith that steers us when we have already lost a greater one. - James Richardson

To me the great divide is between the talkative and the quiet. Do they just say everything that’s on their minds, even before it’s on their minds? Sometimes I think I could just turn up my head like a walkman so what’s going on there could be heard by others. But there would still be a difference. For inside the head they are talking to people like them, and I am talking to someone like me: he is quiet and doesn’t much like being talked at; he can’t conceal how easily he gets bored.

How often feelings are circular. How embarrassing to be embarrassed. How annoying to be annoyed.

To know, you just have to know. To believe, you have to make others believe.
