fall thinking ideas
I think I would rather live on the verge of falling and let my security be in the all-sufficiency of the grace of God than to live in some pietistic illusion of moral excellence.

fall black-and-white thinking
In some ways I consider myself more Chinese, because I live in San Francisco, which is becoming a predominantly Asian city. I avoid falling into the black-and-white dialectic in which most of America still seems trapped.

Having to think of myself in relationship to that horizon has liberated me from the black-and-white checkerboard. Richard Rodriguez

Richard Dawkins
