"I WAS SO SURE OF EVERYTHING WHEN  WAS 23, I KNEW...I KNEW EVERYTHING.  AND I KNEW HOW EVERYTHING SHOULD BE MANAGED, AND FIXED, AND DONE.  AND AS TIME GOES ON I REALLY HAVE AN APPRECIATION FOR THE COMPLEXITY, THE CONTRADICTIONS IN LIFE.  THEY'RE SORT OF WHAT I LOVE, AND WHAT CONFOUNDS ME.  AND SO WE'RE ALL ON A JOURNEY TO UNDERSTAND MORE."
