Quotes by Pagan Kennedy (?)

“She'd spent years trying to explain herself to me (and I to her), but in the end, it had all been for nothing. I could recite her memories, but I could not feel them. She was another country, and I would never travel there.”
― Pagan Kennedy, Confessions of a Memory Eater

“Though we possess the brainpower, the talent, and the tools to solve our most worrying problems, it's enormously difficult to organize ourselves around the big questions.”
― Pagan Kennedy, Inventology: How We Dream Up Things That Change the World

“We talk about certain statements as having a “ring of truth” to them, as if a sentence is a tuning fork, something that we can tap and listen to for its tone. And I think that’s right. Truth has a hum to it. You can tell.”
― Pagan Kennedy, The Dangerous Joy of Dr. Sex and Other True Stories
