Truth medicine

"Our society finds truth too strong a medicine to digest undiluted. In its purest form, truth it not a polite tap on the shoulder. It is a howling reproach." - Ted Koppel

Learned

"In times of change, learners inherit the earth - while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists." - Hoffer

On direction

There's always several routes up a mountain; several solutions to a problem; several endings or resolves to a story. It is the artistic freedom we possess that allows us to choose our route, and therefore, determine our scenery and, somewhat, our experience.

On books

'You can't judge a book by looking at the cover'. A book holds an idea; an evidence of imagination; a collection of words, thoughts, stories inside. Having been mulled over and specifically selected with a reader in mind, the text and context, therefore, hold much value and deserve to be digested. Perhaps every book should simply have a uniform plain cover with standard typeface, so as to not taint the potential of its contents.
