Neal Shusterman Quotes

In Horse Racing They Put These Slats On Either Side Of The Horse's Head, Blocking The Creature's Peripheral Vision. They're Called Blinders. They Don't Actually Blind The Horse, But They Allow The Horse To See Only What's Right In Front Of It; Otherwise It Might Freak Out And Lose The Race.
People Live With Blinders Too; But Ours Are Invisible, And Much More Sophisticated. Most Of The Time We Don't Even Know They're There. Maybe We Need Them, Though, Because If We Took In Everything All At Once, We'd Lose Our Minds. Or Worse, Our Souls. We'd See, We'd Hear, We'd Feel So Deeply That We Might Never Resurface.
So We Make Our Decisions And Base Our Lives On Those Decisions, Never Realizing We're Seeing Only One-tenth Of The Whole. Then We Cling To Our Narrow Conclusions Like Our Lives Depend On It.
