Half-measure Quotes

The division between faith and reason is a half-measure, till it is frankly admitted that faith has to do with fiction, and reason with fact. (Leslie Stephen)
My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish. View quote
Alec Baldwin

And the mechanics of enacting such policies could well contradict the vision for police and prison reform that has been gaining momentum on the left and right alike over the past year. View quote
