"Auguries of Innocence"
Sometimes you have to look reality in the eye and deny it.
-Garrison Keillor
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
-Akhenation "Akhenation, 14 century Egyptian king"
The truth is an offense, but not a sin.
-Bob Marley
