We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say — and to feel — 'Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it.'

The weak grow strong by effrontery, the strong by yielding.

最好的科学家是那些永不停止问为什么的人。

"A story is only as strong as its silences."
