Book cover for The Brave In-Between: Notes from the Last Room
In the virtues that Paul lists from his last room, he begins with truth. This is by design. Paul understood that truth is the chassis for all the other virtues. None can flourish, can be lived, without clarity about the facts of our lives.
Patrick

“The mutability of bacteria, coupled with their ability to pass around and share genetic trumps in a microscopic game of cards, seemed to increasingly leave Homo sapiens holding losing hands.”
Laurie Garrett, The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance

“Sharp, incisive, clever thinking is steadily becoming a lost art, more and more the domain of specialists and gurus. The trend is troubling and raises the question, Is America losing its ability to think? If, for argument’s sake, we define thinking as the use of knowledge and reasoning to solve problems and plan and produce favorable outcomes, the answer is, apparently, yes.”
Michael R. LeGault, Think!: Why Crucial Decisions Can't Be Made in the Blink of an Eye

Albert Einstein
“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”
Albert Einstein

Jon Meacham
“A true patriot salutes the flag but always makes sure it’s flying over a nation that’s not only free but fair, not only strong but just.”
Jon Meacham, Songs of America: Patriotism, Protest, and the Music That Made a Nation

“In the Trump years, Republicans have sent a message that lying is useful and productive, racism is acceptable, the press is the enemy, and a strong-man authoritarian head of government is the ideal.”
Stuart Stevens, It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump
