“Common sense dictates that any voice you hear inside your head must be just you, thinking; so, if you know it’s just you and you know you’re basically an idiot, what possesses you to do what the stupid voice tells you?”

“My belief is, either you understand things or you understand people. Nobody can do both. Frankly, I’m happier with things.

And nobody’s ever paid for my time to get to know about people”
― K.J. Parker, Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City
