No, sir, I make it a rule of mine: the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask."
"If we ask the right questions, we can change the world with the right answers."
"Do you train for passing tests or do you train for creative inquiry?"
"What does that quote mean to you? Can you explain the concept behind it and not just repeat the pretty phrase to me?"
