“Never underestimate the power of the human mind to believe what it wants to believe, no matter the conflicting evidence.”
“Believe me, I have better things to do than sabotage your friendships. No one else's world revolves around you, Cassandra."-Paige to Cassandra”
“I believed in belief, for its own shining sake. To believe in the face of utter hopelessness, every article of evidence to the contrary, to ignore apparent catastrophe - what other choice was there? We are so much stronger than we imagine, and belief is one of the most valiant and long-lived human characteristics. To believe, when all along we humans know that nothing can cure the briefness of this life, that there is no remedy for our basic mortality, that is a form of bravery. To continue believing in yourself...believing in whatever I chose to believe in, that was the most important thing.”
“It is so shocking to find out how many people do not believe that they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.”
“The child who refuses to travel in the father's harness, this is the symbol of man's most unique capability. "I do not have to be what my father was. I do not have to obey my father's rules or even believe everything he believed. It is my strength as a human that I can make my own choices of what to believe and what not to believe, of what to be and what not to be.”
“We are trained to believe and not to know.”
