“Doubt, I’ve learned, is wisdom. And the older I get, the less I know for certain. Those leaders who never think they are wrong, who never question their judgments or perspectives, are a danger to the organizations and people they lead. In some cases, they are a danger to the nation and the world.”
James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

“I know I can be wrong, even when I am certain I am right. Listening to others who disagree with me and are willing to criticize me is essential to piercing the seduction of certainty.”
James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

Octavia E. Butler
“In order to rise
From its own ashes
A phoenix
First
Must
Burn.”
Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
“A man's mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.”
