Giving half answers won't make the conversation half as long.

Giving half answers won't make the conversation half as long

Summary

This quote signifies that providing incomplete or evasive answers to a conversation does not necessarily shorten its duration. In fact, it may even prolong the discussion. It suggests that open and honest communication is more effective than giving only partial information. By openly addressing issues and fully answering questions, we create a more productive and efficient dialogue. Ultimately, avoiding half-truths and actively engaging in meaningful conversations can lead to better understanding and resolution.

I'm not a mathematician, but I know this: There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. there's .1 and .12 and .112 and and infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2 or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.
