someone else's depth or failure.”
― Alan Wilson Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

No one can really know. But we have a reasonable doubt, and this is a safeguard that has enormous value in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's sure. We nine can't understand how you three are still so sure. Maybe you can tell us.”
― Reginald Rose, Twelve Angry Men
