On any given day, dependent upon the situation, you will be confronted by either the devil of a person or the angel of the same person or a curious mix of both. This means you can, and most likely will, love and hate the same individual alternately throughout your life. This truth I find painfully heartbreaking."

I know the yearning to believe that what I'm doing matters and how easy it is to confuse that with the drive to be extraordinary.
