I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don’t. It’s the great mystery. (Steve Jobs) Walter Isaacson
The reality distortion field was a confounding mlange of a charismatic rhetorical style, indomitable will, and eagerness to bend any fact to fit the purpose at hand, Walter Isaacson
