I’ve lived most of my life already and I suppose I can argue myself into believing that I have no great cause to love humanity. However, only a few people have hurt me, and if I hurt everyone in return that is unconscionable usury.

 

Isaac Asimov

 

If you don't give power to the words that people throw at you to hurt you, they don't hurt you anymore — and you actually have power those people. … So, if you can, realize that the things that people say about you — they don't really matter — it's who you are. And the older you get, the more you'll understand that — because it gets better. And people get nicer too.

Poul Henningsen

 

Most people don’t think I’m rational. They’re too busy featuring their hurt. They find it irrational not to feature your hurt. That’s how f**ked up they are.

 

Frank Zappa
