Yet sadly we feel that many of the noisiest are more interested in their indignation than in the injustice. - James Richardson

So many times I’ve made myself stupid with the fear of being outsmarted.

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

Seizing on a piece of business, I become tiny, eager, efficient: roiled water I cannot see into.
