“I was also built from delusional optimism and folly.”

“Hey - the whole freaking world was built from delusional optimism and folly. What makes you so special? We're all just making it up as we go along. No one really knows what they're doing. Anyone who tells you otherwise is talking out of their butt.”

“I’m more than just a pretty face. I’m also delusional.”

“Optimism requires confidence, and confidence is built on trust. And trust, as we know, flows in both directions.”

“I wondered how many people there were in the world who suffered, and continued to suffer, because they could not break out from their own web of shyness and reserve, and in their blindness and folly built up a great distorted wall in front of them that hid the truth.”

“The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.”
