"No, flipping the narrative such that the rangers blundered on a camp where women and children happened to be while hunting the perps and telling me about how this tribe eventually vanished from the region isn't going to improve it. There is a difference between unintentional casualties and a planned raid on the helpless. You think these are equivalent things, but they are not." — Jul 02, 2026 02:43PM

“The fact that something is difficult to measure is no reason not to try to think clearly about it.”

“When people come together — let's say they come to a little party or something — you always hear them discuss character. They will say this one has a bad character, this one has a good character, this one Is a fool, this one is a miser. Gossip makes the conversation. They all analyze character. It seems that the analysis of character is the highest human entertainment. And literature does it, unlike gossip, without mentioning real names.
The writers who don't discuss character but problems —social problems or any problems — take away from literature its very essence. They stop being entertaining. We, for some reason, always love to discuss and discover character. This is because each character is different, and human character is the greatest of puzzles.”

“It was largely my interest in art that had destroyed any life in the world around me. I'd learned perspective, and about balance, and composition. It was as if I'd learned to redesign everything, to reshape it so I saw what OUGHT to be there, which of course is much inferior to what IS there. The dullness was not an inevitable consequence of age, but of education.”
