“You can't argue with the fools in the world. It's better to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.”

“Because you can't argue with all the fools in the world. It's easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.”

“Ever notice how amused people are when you point out one of their mannerisms or a funny quirk about them? They start laughing and getting happy because they're thinking, "People notice me! I'm relevent!" It's OK to have these instincts, but you have to suppress them a bit. There are 6 billion people here, so it's not all about you. You need to let other people talk for a while and pay attention to their world for a sec.”

“I don't like phones. You can't be sure people are paying attention to you when you're talking to them.”

“Some people are like thorns. But you have to let them be thorns, because thorns can't turn into petals. The trick is not letting them prick you; never let a thorn prick you!”

“Sometimes all you have is instinct, a gut feeling. It's important to pay attention to them.”
