“In this world, I’ve got no choice: there is nothing left at all; and you don’t notice, but that’s all right: you don’t know what it’s like.”

…Everything you hate is everything that you created.

Like the fear of destruction keeps one from saying what they want to say – when, in actuality, by not saying it, things get worse. Because it’s the entropy, the leak that doesn’t get fixed.

Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong. About the future, not so much.

Once I gave up the hunt for villains, I had little recourse but to take responsibility for my choices…. Needless to say, this is far less satisfying that nailing villains. It also turned out to be more healing in the end.

My choice is what I choose to be.

It’s not an easy choice, but that’s OK. Easy doesn’t equal good. Difficulty doesn’t equal bad. It’s just life, is all.

Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

I have the impression that when we talk so confidently of liberty, we are unaware of the awful … servitude of poverty when means are so small that there is literally no choice at all.

I will offer a choice, not an echo.
