“We all want explanations for why we behave as we do and for the ways the world around us functions. Even when our feeble explanations have little to do with reality.

And when the story portrays us in a more glowing and positive light, so much the better.”

“individuals are honest only to the extent that suits them (including their desire to please others)”

“I have never understood how people can blithely disregard the damage they do by following their hearts.”
