I...I...I cried...I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized...like I was shot...Like I was shot with a diamond...a diamond bullet right through my forehead...And I thought: My God...the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure.

A belief that is held may or may not be thought to be justified even by the person holding a belief in some circumstances. That is why it is generally thought to be important to keep straight the three separate notions in knowledge as (1) justified (2) true (3) belief.
