I am enormously wise and abysmally ignorant - William Saroyan

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.

A man cannot write a poem or a story that will transform the whole nature of man, his reality and his truth, making them greater and nobler.

Jesus never said anything about absurdity, and he never indicated for one flash of time that he was aware of the preposterousness of his theory about himself. And he didn't even try to make the theory understandable in terms of the reality and experience of the rest of us. For if everybody else is also not what Jesus said he was, what good is what he said?
