Writing Is A Form Of Talking, Although

I Used To Work As A Private Detective Years And Years Ago. And My Boss Gave Me This One Very Simple Piece Of Advice About Trying To Figure Out Who To Interview First In Any Investigation. His Recommendation: Always Pick The People Who Were Fired. Pick The People Who Are Pissed Off.

I Used To Say That Interviewing Others Was Perhaps The Way I Could Stop Talking And Start Listening. It's A Kind Of Enforced Silence.

Those Who Cannot Remember The Past Are Condemned To Repeat It Without A Sense Of Ironic Futility.

Truth Exists Independent Of Style. It Involves All Kinds Of Issues. Properly Considered, It's A Quest, A Pursuit. To Say That Vérité Is More Truthful Than Something That Is Narrated Is Just Misplaced. Completely Wrong. And The Fact That People Still Talk About It As Though They're Really Talking About Something... It Puzzles Me Greatly. A Moment Of Reflection About It Tells You That It Makes No Sense!

You Know, Anything More Negative, Anything More Disparaging, Anything More Adversarial Than What [donald Trump] Does Already. The Mystery Is How He's Gotten As Far As He's Gotten.
