“When we give ourselves permission to fail, we, at the same time, give ourselves permission to excel.”
- Eloise Ristad, A Soprano on Her Head: Right-Side-Up Reflections on Life and Other Performances
“Often we mistake knowledge for truth and forget that the sun shines on truth from different directions and casts a different shadow each time. When we look only at high noon, we miss a lot. If we mistake the shadow for truth itself, we delude ourselves. Our understanding must shine from ever-new directions.”
