"We should not be much concerned about..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Our self-love can less bear to have our tastes than our opinions condemned.”

“Weakness is the only fault that is incorrigible.”

“Generally speaking, we would make a good bargain by renouncing all the good that people say of us, upon condition they would say no ill.”

“People asked me to change my name for [808s]...I think the fact that I can't sing that well is what makes "808s" so special.”

“I am what I am, so take me as I am!.”

“I was very blessed to have family and friends, but particularly family, who told me I was not only all right, I was just right, so I believe that my brain is a good one, and it's lasting me very well.”

“We often make use of envenomed praise, that reveals on the rebound, as it were, defects in those praised which we dare not exposeany other way.”

“There are people who in spite of their merit disgust us and others who please us in spite of their faults.”

“The defects and faults of the mind are like wounds in the body; after all imaginable care has been taken to heal them up, still there will be a scar left behind, and they are in continual danger of breaking the skin and bursting out again.”
