now one less

the truth is a two-edged sword which cuts both ways


"The apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge; once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less."
Arthur Miller [October 17, 1915 - February 10, 2005]


After having been asked by his biographer to compose his own obituary, he admitted that "no one fully understands himself," yet claimed credit for having "certain insights, from time to time, which are good and which are philosophically useful." These insights, he reflected with a combination of modesty and self-certainty, "could have been more useful to people . . . than they have been."
George Frost Kennan [Feb. 16, 1904 — Mar. 17, 2005]
