Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals seek advice from others, they have usually already made up their minds about their course of action. It implies that people often seek advice not for genuine guidance or different perspectives, but rather to seek validation for their predetermined choices. It implies that, even if advice is provided, it may not hold much influence over their decision-making process, as they are likely to follow through with their original intentions.

How would that premise stand up if he examined it? That was probably why the Communists were always cracking down on Bohemiansism. When you were drunk or when you committed adultery you recognised your own personal fallability of that so mutable substitute for the apostles' creed, the party line.

I think, that you can meet someone one day, who possesses the eyes you never had but always needed; the vision to see backwards and forwards and all around, the other wing that you need to complete your flight. And I think it can just happen, suddenly, without explanation! And then I think, it would be good to keep that person, you'll always have those eyes, and always have two wings.
