Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Even in science,” Contemplation said, “faith plays a role. Each experiment done, each step on the path of knowledge, is achieved by striking out into the darkness. You can’t know what you will find, or that you will find anything at all. It is faith that drives us—faith in answers that must exist.”
Most change happens as a slow, steady slide toward the pit. Like how we age, step by shuffling step toward the grave.”
“Try some curry powder next time. It has a much better flavor than tyranny. Less nutty.”
“Failed ideas lead to successful ones, Contemplation. They’re the only thing that does.”
You’re not an idiot, Nomad. An idiot is someone without knowledge or ability. You’re something else: a person with knowledge or ability who misuses it. That makes you a fool instead.
