“I want to say to you: Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.”
John Patrick Shanley“I want to say to you: Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.”
John Patrick Shanley, Doubt“If I could, Sister James, I would certainly choose to live in innocence. But innocence can only be wisdom in a world without evil. Situations arise and we are confronted with wrongdoing and the need to act.”
John Patrick Shanley, Doubt“I am not a courageous person by nature. I have simply discovered that, at certain key moments in this life, you must find courage in yourself, in order to move forward and live. It is like a muscle and it must be exercised, first a little, and then more and more. All the really exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap.”
John Patrick Shanley, 13 by Shanley
