"You might be a great judge of character, but you need to be a great judge of evidence to avoid delusion."

Two thoughts from John Edgar Wideman:

“Do not fall asleep in your enemy's dream.”

“A great artist transforms our world, removes scales from our eyes, plugs from our ears, gloves from our fingertips and teaches us to perceive reality differently.”

“The More Pessimistic Your Explanatory Style, The Easier It Is To Slip Into Learned Helplessness.”
