“I hope you looked west while I was looking east, and that for a moment you met my eyes without knowing it. I know you never look away, ever when your eyes are closed, but I'm never certain you can see what's really there.

“When we believe, we hold on to what we think is true. But when we have a conviction, that truth holds on to us.”
