"Our work is to present things that are as they are."

-- Frederick The Great

“In the last 5 years I've been working with the LAPD, training police officers in first aid and CPR.”
“It's always easier to say good-bye when you know it's just a prelude to hello.”
“There are two ways to slice easily thorugh life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.”
“I have no affinity for animals. I donâ€™t hate animals and I would never hurt an animal; I just donâ€™t actively care about them. When a coworker shows me cute pictures of her dog, I struggle to respond correctly, like an autistic person who has been taught to recognize human emotions from flash cards. In short, I am the worst.”
“For parlor use, the vague generality is a life saver.”
“Much as I admired the elegance of physical theories, which at that time geology wholly lacked, I preferred a life in the woods to one in the laboratory.”
“It doesn't need to be imagined, it needs to be written down.”
“The distinguishing mark of true adventures, is that it is often no fun at all while they are actually happening.”
