“Sometimes we just sit quietly and look at the world around us. One moment the world looks like it is. In the next moment, it's something completely different. There are things we clearly see but there are others that we never expect to appear. Suddenly, we realize that life is a matter of perspective. To effectively change ourselves, we must first change our perceptions. But no one has the right to dictate to us what to do, say or perceive.”

“The place I took off from three years ago is not the place where I've landed. And though I'm still not sure what to make of this terrain, I can tell you that the intellectual uncertainty into which it has forced me is a lot more interesting - and a lot more honest - than some of the convictions that carried me along before. If nothing else, this is a story of its time, which means it's a story for which we don't yet know the ending. I've never been more afraid of writing a book. I've never been more certain I had to.”
