“I'm a vegetarian now, but I'm willing to make an exception in the event I'm presented with people.

“When I'm feeling proud of myself, I should remember to ask myself why I think I am of any value at all. I have done nothing that a hundred thousand other people couldn't do, and most of them would probably do it better, and they probably wouldn't feel so self-important about it. I should always be ashamed of myself.” PeopleThinkingFeelsShouldImportantSelfDoneFeelingsRememberValuesAsksProudThousandHundredAshamedProud Of Myself Author:John S. Hall
