"If wisdom in government eludes us, perhaps courage could substitute-the moral courage to terminate mistakes."

The stories we sit up late to hear are love stories. It seems that we cannot know enough about this riddle of our lives. We go back and back to the same scenes, the same words, trying to scrape out the meaning. Nothing could be more familiar than love. Nothing else eludes us so completely.

— Jeanette Winterson
