But only I know the story, the real story. And it... Roberto Bolano

Worry divides the mind. Max Lucado
Moreover, the attitude that one ought to believe such and such a proposition, independently of the question whether there is evidence in its favor, is an attitude which produces hostility to evidence and causes us to close our minds to every fact that does not suit our prejudices. Bertrand Russell
