Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less.”

“There is really no fiction or non-fiction; there is only narrative.

“I'm not a big believer in revolutions. What people call revolutions in technology were more of a shift in perception - from big machines to PC's (the technology just evolved, fairly slowly at that), and from PC's to the internet.
