Confidence Is Inspiring. Yet So Often Misplaced.

Because Life Doesn't Work That Way. You Can Do Everything Perfectly. Do Everything You Think You're Supposed To Be Doing. Fulfill Every Expectation That Other People May Have. And You Still Won't Get The Results You Think You Deserve. Life Is Crazy And Maddening And Often Makes No Sense.

Human Beings Are Infinitely Fallible, Completely Unreliable. Science Is Not. Science Is Absolute. Under Strict Principles, If You Do A And B, Then C Will Occur. This Rarely Happens If You Inject The Inefficiences Of Humanity Into The Process.

As A Lawyer, As A Private Citizen, You See A Lot Of Injustice. You See A Lot Of People Who Should Have Been Punished And Are Not, And People Who Were Punished Wrongfully Are Not Vindicated. Fiction Is Sort Of A Way To Set The Record Straight, And Let People At Least Believe That Justice Can Be Achieved And The Right Outcomes Can Occur.

Anyone Who's Lived Has Lost Somebody.

The Human Spirit Was The Strongest Medicine On Earth. And Sometimes All It Needed Was A Little Encouragement To Pull Off A Miracle.
