    Anton Chekhov

I don't want to understand you.”

    John Fitzgerald Kennedy
    “The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

    [Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962]”
