But we also need to depend on our own insights and imagination to cultivate, from our own experience, a way to move forward.

And there’s nothing I’ve done in my life of which I’m more proud.

I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker with no Past at my back.
