Nuances Quotes

“Engaging in "nuances" takes a lot of time, too much time for many. That's why they often prefer fixed, blocky, prefabricated, granite-cast, immutable ideas. This ensures them time-saving peace of mind and a worry-free but shallow existence. ("Prêt-à-penser" / "Ready-to-wear thinking")”

In fact, there were many other ways I could have learned those lessons—and they could have been learned without excruciating pain.
