“If a man isn't willing to take some risk for his opinions, either his opinions are no good or he's no good”
“He had an opinion of himself, I think, that was too high for his own good. Or maybe it was the reverse. Maybe it was a low opinion that he kept trying to erase.”
“When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch.”
“Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion of himself.”
“Don't judge a man by his opinions, but what his opinions have made of him.”
“Or, to state his character as it stood in the scale of public opinion, when his friends and critics were in tantrums, he was considered rather a bad man; when they were pleased, he was rather a good man; when they were neither, he was a man whose moral colour was a kind of pepper-and-salt mixture.”
