aquarium logic

we all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

–c s lewis

all our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud, you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

–ralph waldo emerson

the only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

it wasn’t much of a killing, not like on television and i didn’t know someone had died until someone told me and i’m not even sure if he did.
