I'm reading Paul Auster's book Oracle Night at the moment
'A good sense of humor, then, a taste for the ironies of life, and an appreciation of the absurd. But also a certain modesty and discretion, kindness towards others, a generous heart. No blowhards or arrogant fools, no liars or thieves.A blue team member had to be curious, a reader of books, and aware of the fact that he couldn't bend the world to the shape of his will. An astute observer, someone capable of making fine moral distinctions, a lover of justice. a Blue team member would give you the shirt off his back if he saw you were in need, but he would much rather slip a ten dollar bill into your pocket when you weren't looking" I'd quite like to be worthy of being a blue team member, it seems quite a good philosophy for life.
