Liberalism, on the other hand, regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situations, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability. ↗

At this stage in my career, I don't have to take any big risks. You want to take a calculated risk, not one that leads to people saying 'yes, but there was that one time when she made that big mistake.' It's always a shame when that happens, especially if you've gotten by for decades without anything hugely tragic. ↗

And it would show me, once again, that one opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death. ↗

I have not led an ordinary life, nor a life that would suit everyone. I took great risks, but because I did, I also earned great reward. I found the way to show my true face freely, without fear. Because of this, I found true love. ↗

Well I just figure any man who risks his neck to save a dog's life isn't going to kill someone for gold teeth. ↗
