It is not he who gives abuse that affronts, but the view that we take of it as insulting; so that when one provokes you it is your own opinion which is provoking. – Epictetus
No one can be as calculatedly rude as the British, which amazes Americans, who do not understand studied insult and can only offer abuse as a substitute. – Paul Gallico
Treat with utmost respect your power of forming opinions, for this power alone guards you against making assumptions that are contrary to nature and judgments that overthrow the rule of reason. – Marcus Aurelius
Well, I dont think just because people are in a relationship that theyre happy. I dont think relationships necessarily make people happy. You just are happy or youre not happy. – Lisa Edelstein
