“They’ll spend time and energy finding ways not to learn things just to feel comfortable with their beliefs...

“You're too worried about figuring out what you can believe about all of this, and then figuring out how to control it. That's how most people approach their lives. Way I feel, though, after a lot of years of living? Not much of what matters in the world is under your control. You don't dictate, you adapt. That's all. So stop trying to control this, and start trying to listen to what it's telling you.”
― Michael Koryta, So Cold the River
