If you must blink, do it now.
Pay careful attention to everything you see and hear, no matter how unusual it may seem. And please be warned: If you fidget, if you look away, if you forget any part of what I tell you β even for an instant β then our hero will surely perish.

When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there.
Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.
Sooner or later that debt is paid.
To be a scientist is to be naive.
We are so focused on our search for truth, we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it.
But it is always there, whether we see it or not, whether we choose to or not.
The truth doesnβt care about our needs or wants.
It doesnβt care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions.
It will lie in wait for all time.
Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask:
What is the cost of lies?
