“I’m continually confronted with the human tendency to ignore or deny facts until the last possible instant. And then for several days after that, too.”
― John Scalzi, The Collapsing Empire

“We achieve perfection first by acknowledging our failures. We increase understanding first by recognizing our ignorance”
― Pierce Brown, Light Bringer

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
― Mark Twain

“When I looked up at my father as a boy, I thought being a man was having control. Being the master and commander of your own destiny. How could any boy know that freedom is lost the moment you become a man. Things start to count. To press in. Constricting slowly, inevitably, creating a cage of inconveniences and duties and deadlines and failed plans and lost friends.”
― Pierce Brown, Morning Star
