Quotes by Donald Antrim (?)

“There is nothing more seductive — and dangerous — than being listened to.”
― Donald Antrim, The Verificationist

“I hope that you will be faced with difficult choices and decisions, trials that won’t undo you, but that will drive you toward reflection and understanding. Trust that your fears will sometimes tell you about your desires. You will see that you can survive the terror that comes with growth and change, with vulnerability and risk.”
