Others: &quot;I&#039;m sorry. I didn&#039;t mean it. I say things I don&#039;t mean when I&#039;m angry.&quot;. Me: &quot;I&#039;m sorry. I shouldn&#039;t have said that. I say things I wouldn&#039;t normally say when I&#039;m angry. Did I mean it? Heck yeah I meant it! I just wouldn&#039;t have said it!&quot;

&ldquo;Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees. Reminding us, that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations. Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world&rsquo;s stunning complexity, we shave reality to paper thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp &ndash; and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea in all it&rsquo;s immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble.&rdquo;
