lessons from fantasy

here's a passage from Waylander, David Gemmell:

"When a fool sees himself as he is, he is a fool no longer; and when a wise man learns of his own wisdom, then he becomes a fool." This caused me great trouble, for it seemed mere word play. But after many years I have come to this conclusion: that only in certainty is there moral danger. Doubt is the gift we must cherish, for it forces us to question our motives constantly. It guides us to truth. I do not know if we chose wisely the path we now walk. I do not know if we are right in what we do. But we walk it in faith.

Cherish your doubts.

on another note, john medley library has a lot of fantasy/sci fi books I want to read. I'm gonna go buy the culture card for it =]

teoh,
