“Although I’m terrified of hurting other people’s feelings, when it comes to challenging their thoughts, I have no fear. In fact, when I argue with someone, it’s not a display of disrespect—it’s a sign of respect. It means I value their views enough to contest them. If their opinions didn’t matter to me, I wouldn’t bother. I know I have chemistry with someone when we find it delightful to prove each other wrong.”
― Adam M. Grant, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

“Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free.”

― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
