“What the hell is wrong with men anyway?” “We’re too used to getting our own way. And way too much testosterone. And then there’s the lack of brains.”

“The hardest thing for someone to do is admit they’ve been suckered. It’s easier to say the emperor is wearing his new clothes when he’s really stark naked, right up until the moment everything goes to shit and you have to pay the price for your bad judgment.”
