The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

The beginning of genius is being scared shitless.

Listen to the Chair Leg of Truth! It does not lie!
