Ignorance is my refusal to think outside the box of my fears.

When I find that stubbornness continually overrides common sense regardless of the logic of my argument, it seems that the only effective solution is to tell them to go ahead and stick their finger in the socket. And what I find is that what my argument failed to solve, electricity does quite nicely.

How long must we wander through the wilderness of our arrogance before we acknowledge the existence of the wilderness and confess the fact that we’re lost in it? And if such a posture of humility is beyond us, the woods will grow and a way out of them will not.

The line that we chart into our future is often more a circle that brings us back to our past. And it might be that there is some hidden intent in charting circles in that we can feel like we’re moving when we actually have no intent of doing so.

We are a stubborn people at times, having collided with greatness, yet finding ourselves attempting to revive all the dead things that had gratefully and mercifully perished in the colliding.

There are consequences to ignoring consequences that are a consequence of my blatant unwillingness to learn from my consequences.

Do not confuse stubbornness with tenacity, for the former is blind to reason while the latter has no reason to be blind.

If the only thing that I can focus on is the conclusion of a matter, there’s a good chance that I haven’t devised a way to bring a conclusion to the matter.
