Quotes

• ““Do you believe that it’s dangerous?” Doug studied him closely.“Yes, although I’m in a minority here.”“Does that make you question your conclusion?”Glenn grimaced. “No, although it’s been strongly suggested that reconsidering would simplify my life.”“Group think?” Doug said. “Consensus is a poor substitute for thought. Tell the herd to eat shit—a hundred billion flies can’t be wrong.””
• “Sincerity does not equal truth, of course.”
• “Truth seldom lends itself to crisp synopsis.”
• “Patience neighbored respect for authority in Doug’s personal list of overrated virtues.”
• “Facts form patterns. Patterns suggest hypotheses, Hypotheses are subject to inspection—and sometimes to proof.”
• “Depression was merely anger without enthusiasm.”
