Quote

There is the temptation in my life to seek the ultimate truth, the one answer, the path to eternal peace and happiness. But the really smart people understand that this is never a straight line, never clear or easy to see, never the same thing over and again. It is a difficult and complex process full of change, and I do not always see the world clearly, and need to accept that. I have more than a thousand illusions, and they are cracked like twigs day after day, and still they keep coming, and still, I am blind, and make mistakes almost all the time. But I begin again. And again. And that, I think, is the point.
