“I was utterly convinced that an intellectual could never be anything but an intellectual, was simply not capable of being anything else, that his intellectuality would, sooner or later, erode his faith or erode whatever he'd masked it with . . .

― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“If what we say is nothing more than posturing and pontificating, that will create an emptiness so full of ‘nothingâ€� that our words will be full of the same. And empty words are the abuse of both language and listener.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Sometimes the cause itself is nothing more than the excuse to be the enemy.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Sometimes the evidence of everything that I wish were not evidence points me to all of the things that I’ve spent my life attempting to build evidence against.”
