Quoting Margaret Thatcher, on personal attacks

Quoting Nora Ephron, on certain among the insane

Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.

Quoting Walter Lippmann, on self-awareness

Many a time I have wanted to stop talking and find out what I really believed.
