I’ve always wondered where explanations end and excuses begin Picture Quote #1

Truth is a pursuit, it’s a quest. And proof is certainly in the pudding in this particular instance, because the film, and the evidence accumulated in making the film, led to this man’s release from prison.

Language can be used to so many diverse ends. It can be used to clarify and, of course, it can be used to obfuscate, confuse, evade Picture Quote #1

We falsely interpret the world around us. We ignore evidence that doesn’t support our prior beliefs and we convince ourselves we know things we don. We think we know things we don’t know Picture Quote #1

But there’s a big difference between, say, reporting on a story and simply making up a story Picture Quote #1

I am profoundly skeptical about our abilities to predict the future in general, and human behavior in particular Picture Quote #1

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it without a sense of ironic futility Picture Quote #1
