“You can fool yourself, you know. You'd think it's impossible, but it turns out it's the easiest thing of all.”

“I remember a little later wondering why things always turn out to be diametrically opposed to what you expect them to be. It's no good even trying to predict what this opposite will be because it always fools you and turns out to be the opposite of that, if you see what I mean. If you think this is geometrically impossible all I can say is that you don't know my life”

“Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.”

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.”

“Its funny how you can let yourself forget for seconds, how even in the heat of the horrible, you can have moments when you fool yourself into thinking it might all be okay”

“It's not knowing that drives you mad. It's imaging things that you wish you couldn't think up all by yourself.”
