81 " The future is uncertain, but that can be a good thing. "
― Jennifer Niven , All the Bright Places
82 " Change is a good thing. It's good to have a fresh start, even if it's painful sometimes. "
― Jen Calonita , There's No Place Like Home (Secrets of My Hollywood Life, #6)
83 " Every once in a while, and it happens only several times a year if I am lucky, I will feel astonishment that I exist, that I am sitting, standing, perceiving, and that others perceive me...It is probably a good thing I am not always so aware of my existence because otherwise I would walk about in a haze of wonder embracing things. "
― Meia Geddes , Love Letters to the World
84 " Watch a man--say, a politician--being interviewed on television, an you are observing a demonstration of what both he and his interrogators learned in school: all questions have answers, and it is a good thing to give an answer even if there is none to give, even if you don't understand the question, even if the question contains erroneous assumptions, even if you are ignorant of the facts required to answer. Have you ever heard a man being interviewed say, " I don't have the faintest idea," or " I don't know enough even to guess," or " I have been asked that question before, but all my answers to it seem to be wrong?" One does not " blame" men, especially if they are politicians, for providing instant answers to all questions. The public requires that they do, since the public has learned that instant answer giving is the most important sign of an educated man. "
85 " They say that even of a good thing you can have too much. But I doubt it. True, such good things as sunbathing, beer, and tobacco may be intemperately pursued to the detriment of their devotees; yet, to my mind, one cannot have too much of a good murder. "
