When you are mad, mad like this, you don't know it. Reality is what you see. When what you see shifts, departing from anyone else's reality, it's still reality to you. ↗

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress. ↗

Soon madness has worn you down. It’s easier to do what it says than argue. In this way, it takes over your mind. You no longer know where it ends and you begin. You believe anything it says. You do what it tells you, no matter how extreme or absurd. If it says you’re worthless, you agree. You plead for it to stop. You promise to behave. You are on your knees before it, and it laughs. ↗

Would 'sorry' have made any difference? Does it ever? It's just a word. One word against a thousand actions. ↗

On average, women are better liars than men. But the best liars are men, because politicians are still predominantly men.

We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us. ↗

Kindness’ covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out. ↗

Every time you show your feelings, you apologize. Have you ever had an emotion in your life that you weren't ashamed of? ↗
