“Intelligence is not found when you have a plan, rather it's measured when you have no clue what you're doing.”

“What do you do when you're in love with the last man in the world you can have? You plan a life, a real life, without him.”

“My theory is that if you look confident, you can pull off anything-even if you have no clue what you're doing”

“Rhiannon's Law #63: Fake it until you make it. You might not know what the fuck you're doing, but that doesn't mean everyone else is aware of your inaptitude. When in doubt, hold your head high and pretend you have a clue.”

“When you're alone, it's easier," she said a little wistfully. "You can do what you want. You don't have to go home.”

“Engagement, and its relationship to the accumulation and processing of information, is a little-studied phenomenon, representing as it does, individual skills rather than those that can be measured in a group of people. Currently, our understanding and measurement of human intellectual capacity is oriented toward group skills and toward activities that can be elicited on command, regardless of the state of engagement. Indeed, being able to engage one's focus on the questions of the examiner, rather than on one's own interest, is the primary measure of test-taking ability, and test-taking ability is the primary measure of intelligence. When we find that animals do not do well when compared to people in this way, we must not assume that we have really measured their intellect. Perhaps we have measured only our own limited ability to engage them.”
